Always follow the money...Originally Posted by djvx
Isn't it nice having an engine that buries it's vital parts. Oh the designers were so smart. I learned alot helping my friend pull a 3.5 out of his Trooper.
So putting the starter under the engine is a good idea why????
And sticking the waterpump behind the timing belt is good because of what?
I can see why they junk their cars in Japan after 40k, they've made them nearly impossible to work on. I know some of you enjoy putzin' in the garage with this stuff, but for some of us it's a serious money issue. And a downright PITA. I for one say the engineers and designers of this engine were idiots.
Period.
End of story.
They realized early on, that stealerships can charge more for repairs if parts are buried...the deeper the better.
Just be glad that the crank case oil filter isn't INSIDE the oil pan, like the trans filter...
In all reality, the starter has to be located near the flywheel.
