Check the sump for the curve or flat and just confirm ya have the matching alternator, I recall in a thread I was asking 6 vs 7 bolt part compatibility and I recall alternator was mentioned, not sure if it was only cos of belt style or more though, ill try find the split in 1/2 alt I had off a e2 and get some numbers for ya

[Miniman_alis]

the curve of the bottom of the oil pump housing? Yea it's got a curve

[Miniman_alis]

okay so made a few measurements.



mounting foot is 77mm





potato camera.
front of pulley to foot is 49mm

[Miniman_alis]

the clean one is the late one (edit. I dont know what its off. Found it on shelf) The right one is a 6bolt one.

idk if 7bolt is same or not.

hey jack you want to sell me that crusty alternator? or what are the numbers on it?

[jack be nimble]

The 6bolt one is a ab175020 75a

what is your altenators measurement?

better measure yours. I thought you had a 6 bolt one that didnt fit.
not really wanting to sell it.

[jack be nimble]

Crusty? Thats preservative.

[evo-gsr]

Its crusty due to the age of 6 bolts....

[jack be nimble]

Its newer than your 7bolt.

[evo-gsr]

Ummmm..not likely. ^

[Miniman_alis]

I'm getting a replacement for most of the numbers that JayRome posted so I'll measure it up and see if it fits when I get it next week.

[jack be nimble]

Ummmm..not likely. ^

1997 6bolt, not 87- 1997
its a sonata engine

[evo-gsr]

Ummm...not likely...I bought the alternator 2 years ago brand new. So stick that in ya pipe.

so my first attempt at putting the engine and gearbox together didnt go very smooth, i didnt know i needed to have the throw out bearing for the OS Genkin twin plate clutch

OS on the left, oem on the right.

 

2nd attempt a few weeks later went a bit better

 

 

Alrighty so my alternator search has finally come to an end.

 

or so i thought.

 

Oh for fks sake... i dont know if you can see that but its about 1 rib out too far now,

its one of those 140Amp alternator from the US, i messaged the guy and he sent me the correct pulley, so that was good.

 

 

i didnt have a alternator bracket so i made one.

my welding skills go alright,

 

 

Did someone say huge tubro

 

Installed some solid shifter bushes

 

also made a spacer for the clutch pedal

 

Now i just need to finish all the little bits 

transfer case

drive shafts

rear drive shaft

intercooler pipes

get a new intercooler

radiator

hoses

all the rest of the other stuff..

Nice engine mount Great build!

[Miniman_alis]

Finally got it running. It seems to have a massive problem trying to start. It's like the batteries are flat but I've got 2 good batteries hooked up. One in the boot and one jumped in the engine bay.

Just an idle video

Going to make up a new battery feed from the stud in the bay to the starter motor and a couple of earths for the engine to body and maybe a new Earth from front to back.

They are just like I said they would be, Hard.
Very solid.
I'm pulling the engine out to fix some oil leaks in weird places so I'll drill some holes in them like we discussed while it's out.

Talking about oil leaks, how am I getting a oil leak around the #1 intake runner above the headgasket? My rocker cover doesn't look like it's leaking.. and I don't see where the oil is coming from its just dripping from the bottom bolt under the #1 runner.

[TBOWGN]

Nice, keep me posted on them... I'll be making some up with 4 holes in each bush soon anyway
