"pulley that went around the alternator"

"big thing that came off after the LIM"

i don't even know if those are accurate, but i can totally see those being my labels

ya'll will see me on here every 5 mintues with a picture saying "what's this called?" haha. be ready.

All a part of learning!

I'm a bit worried..... she went to pick up an engine from some dood, and has not returned.

HazMatt24 · 03-06-2009, 06:30 PM

It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again

cherrington17 · 03-06-2009, 06:42 PM

probably trying to figure out which end is up... on the engine, of course

Dhoyle · 03-06-2009, 10:40 PM

yea.....

kwhauck · 03-07-2009, 09:54 AM

hello!!! you guys i think she trying to lift the engine by herself and it fell off and killed 33% of the active woman population on aleromod!!

lonnie · 03-07-2009, 09:57 AM

What young good looking chics you guys know that just sit around the house on the internet, leg humping with the guys all day? She's got a life!

kwhauck · 03-07-2009, 03:05 PM

no e-humping here, she just usually does what she says, and i want to see pics of a stock 3400 motor, duh!!

99alerogirl · 03-07-2009, 03:25 PM

hey guys, sorry... i haven't been around this weekend really. i got the engine back here when it was dark, and i take pictures on my phone, which can't pick up light. it's nice though (but very dirty)! still sitting on the trailer, waiting for some big guys to come around and help me take it into our garage

i'll get pictures for you as soon as i go back to my parents' house.

Beholder88 · 03-08-2009, 09:01 PM

Yes, pictures please!!!

99alerogirl · 03-08-2009, 09:02 PM

gah alright... let me get my phone. ya'll are making me get out of bed now... you're in trouble!

99alerogirl · 03-08-2009, 09:15 PM

alright, took a picture of it real quick earlier today. it's really dirty, especially for 90K miles (mine has 117K and doesn't even look that dirty. then again, mine doesn't have a blown head gasket). I took the valve cover off, just cause I had never seen the valves or whatever before, and the bolts were already loose enough I just took them off. it's dirty but it's gonna be fun to clean up

. i also noticed that the LIM is stamped "00," which i think means it's a 2000 LIM? but the guy did say he's now on his third engine in the grand am, so it's possible this wasn't the original 2003 engine. but here you go, here's my new project

Beholder88 · 03-08-2009, 09:17 PM

Yup, that's a 2000 model. Same as what I'm working on right now! I would put the valve cover back on if I were you, just to keep dirt and whatnot out of there until you can tear into it. Damn, polish up that UIM!

99alerogirl · 03-08-2009, 09:29 PM

haha yeah I put the valve cover back on, I just wanted to see it. so I guess this was the guys second engine. as long as it's not a 99 engine I'm fine with that! and yes, first thing to do is to clean the UIM haha, since that will be going on soon. anyone know any issues I'm going to have putting the 2000 UIM on the 1999 LIM? I heard something about the EGR being mounted different or somehting. or I might have to change both manifolds at the same time.
