Engine re-install tip

Haven't seen this posted but to be honest I haven't read every one of the thousands of posts on here.

It's amazing how much quicker things go every time I do another engine/transmission pull.

It's always been "fun" getting the strut tower in place.

This time I took 3/8" bolts, one 4" and one 3 1/2", cut off the head and screwed them into the strut mounting plate.

This allowed me to align the strut into its holes as I raised the combo into position. The two lengths let me get one started and the shorter one allowed me to then finalize the adjustment as I raised it.

It made the re-install go a little quicker.


FYI - I usually do the pull myself so I don't have anyone to guide the strut towers into place.
