i was letting him know the memories i had with his grandfather, as my dad at one point for income started fixing cars in the garage and since i was the older brother i was forced to help. i remember being so annoyed that i had to help all the time, now that i'm older i'm glad my dad was rough on me to learn all that stuff cause its so helpful to have that confidence to fix something.

Told my son for right now it will all seem like gibberish but the more you work on cars, things will start to piece together. my kiddo saw the swap from v8 4runner to now the v6 and like i told him, i have no clue how to work on them. But i'm not scared to with what i've learned throughout the years. a manual, some time, and alot of cursing and it'll get done.

Can't beat father/son (or daughter) time wrenching on stuff. Don't forget to show him the financial side of this project. This is how life lessons are built.

Today once the kiddo got home at 5pm, persisted to connect the chains and mount this bad boy in. once one dowel was lined up was able to wiggle the other one into place, once the motor was level with it. Actually had more trouble with the motor mounts than lining up the tranny. probably took a good 20 mins to line the tranny up. i had the boy tighten all the bolts for the tranny and we continued on with the motor mount. took them both off and lined both of them assembled together and than put all the bolts on. So far everything lined up good, Wiring and hoses and she'll be all done. i say by this weekend as i want the boy to finish all the work, so far hes done most of the major work.

Had it out and swapped the plate in like 25 mins, putting it back in took a little longer. Everything lined up and bolted up good, put the starter in while I was messing with that corner.

Have the intake, wiring, and drive components left to install. Saturday I’m off so I’ll probably finish putting everything back in and let the boy start it up Sunday since he put the engine together.

Went to start it up this morning and having issues getting the starter to engage, just get a click. Checked the grounds
Two behind the heads
One pass side body by ps reservoir
One drivers side body lower under battery
The bracket that bolts to the alternator
And the big ass one to the block.
Took the starter to advance and spun right up, put it back in and still just click.
Charged the battery too just in case
