Hang in there Willy! Lost footage can be frustrating. The alignment issue is a kick in the teeth but you're tough, determined and you can do it. You're not alone, everyone that's ever done anything has danced that dance at one time or another, one step forward, two steps back. The goal is worth the effort.
Oh man the lost footage was a disaster. This video is the 3rd attempt to complete the video. But yeah I worked through it. I worked all morning today (10/21/24) to align everything. Between the videos I removed everything to have a fresh start and it worked. I’m happy with where it is now. Plan on putting the body back on this weekend and start the roll cage. Well as I said I might take a break from it and work on an engine or minibike. I have the injection pump out of the Samurai and sent it out to Giles diesel performance in Canada. So when it gets back I’ll get the Samurai running again. Then I can do the AFM/DOD repair on the 5.3 in the Silverado. Too much going on.. Thanks again for watching!!
Yeah heart breaking when recording and find out it didnt, been there😮💨. That sucks the belt is barely off alignment! Now all the little nit-picky things start turning up. But knowing you Willy "you will not be defeated"!💪 Just cool down get some rest and regroup, and tackle it another day, of course after the honey do's.🇺🇸👍
Thanks for the update! I feel your pain I just lost a completely finished video 😱 it’s just a flesh wound though! Keep da faith and power on… One step closer.
After this video I took everything out again and started over. Just wasn’t happy yet. I made a new aluminum transmission mount and hopefully that will fix the little bit the engine was off. I was loosing sleep over it. Not really but it did bother me. Thanks for checking it out. I’ve been busy and got behind on my video watching..
Hello Kylesyx, Ideally yes isolating engine and transmission mounts would be better. The original Polaris engine and transmission are mounted together with rubber mounts to help with vibration. This being an offroad car with some street driving the solid mounting will transfer vibration through the car but it will be fine. Also it’s nearly impossible to connect the Chevy Ecotec to the transmission like it’s done originally. We need to keep CVT clutch alignment and I believe this is the best way. Great question though! Hope you subscribed so you can follow the progress. Thanks for watching!!! Have a blessed day!

Started putting it back together again . Hopefully I’ll be happier with the results.

Don’t you think you need some kind of isolators on those engine mounts?
