49020, RE: Starting my AWD Conversion Posted by Corbin, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Sorry for the delay. I've been caught up building the engine (almost done). I'm pretty sure the seam sealer brand was Dynatron. That was the only one available locally. I have been happy with the results. I scoured Craigslist for Talons and Eclipses and almost bought a different car, but the guy flaked on me too many times. I just wanted a running 2G AWD with manual trans. Almost all of them were automatic and/or not running (just needs a tune up). I got desperate and bought one in poor condition. I was going to rebuild everything anyways, so condition was not top priority. I followed the Jafromobile videos to replace a couple of the driveshaft joints and yoke. That cut down on the noise dramatically. I also found that a driveshaft bearing mount was loose and that helped even more. When I pull the old engine, I expect to find a messed up crank pulley or incorrectly timed balance shafts to explain the remaining vibration. More pics will be coming.
