Instructions call for greasing the first motion shaft and bearings. First I've heard of them and I can't find any reference in the Rave for them. What are they talking about? The only thing I can come up with is the teeth of the flex plate/fly wheel and the shaft of the transmission that fits in the center hole on the engine side.
Any ideas?

Sounds like your reading a prodedure for a maunual trans.

Whats up with that flywheel? It looks like it's missing some stuff.


Never mind I was thinking D1.

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing, but the instructions don't always segregate the transmission specific procedures out. I put some diff grease on it. Eh. It was filthy when I opened it up in the first place.

UPDATE.......

so the engine is back in and all hooked up.
i have a few extas, but nothing sereious (i hope).

two things happened.......

driver side exhaust manifold smoking and smells like buring rubber/plastic (or maybe thats just the junk that collected in and around it from sitting for two months)

p0304 (i can hear the noise)

I had the heads machined etc, and put new rods in for the rockers. Am I looking at a slipped sleeve? Now? My leak down and pressure tests did not indicate a slipped sleeve before. Where should I start? MAF (it's new), plugs and wires (new), O2s (old)??????????
