Well ... I finally got around to pulling the 4G63 this past Saturday. Started at 9:15 in the morning and had it on the stand by 3:00 with an hour lunch break in there. All in all I didn't think that was too bad considering this motor is new to me and I'd never pulled one before. After pulling several 420A's I actually thought this motor was alot easier to pull. The motor mounts are more accessiable and the wiring harness I didn't think was quite as complicated. The starter is a bear - the back of the block!, who thought of that? And the A/C compressor I didn't unbolt until I had the motor half way out the engine bay, but it's out nonetheless.

I discovered my OEM flywheel has some heat cracks in it. So whoever owned the car before me was beating on it I guess b/c I only got about 500 on the motor since I bought it and I haven't beat it. I'm trying to decided if I want to go right to a lightened flywheel now or just get a temporary OEM one until I can afford a clutch and do it all at the same time. I think I'll put a post up in the FS section and see what people have laying around. If any of you are like me I've probably got enough parts at my house to make at least one other complete car :eek
