Building and Installing the Engine and Transmission in My Summer Car

Welcome back to another episode of My Summer Car! In this episode, we will be building and installing both the engine and transmission into the Satsuma. Are You ready for this exciting step? But before we dive into the car's mechanics, let's start by bottling the freshly fermented Killjuice and delivering it to our customer.

Bottling the Killjuice

Our batch of Killjuice has finished fermenting, and it's time to bottle it up. We have a limited stock of six bottles at the moment, so we need to make sure everything goes smoothly. After sealing the bottles, we head out to deliver them to our regular customer, the drunk dude. He always pays a good price for our homemade concoction. With his positive feedback and payment in HAND, we return home to Continue our car-building adventure.

Delivering the Killjuice

As we stop by the drunk dude's house to drop off the Killjuice, we can't help but Notice the excitement of rally cars passing by. The town seems lively today! The drunk dude, looking like everyone else in town, loves our product and eagerly accepts the bottles. We place the remaining five bottles on his table and head back home.

Preparing for Engine and Transmission Installation

Before we start working on the car, we need to Take Care of our stats. We quench our thirst and hunger, relieve ourselves, and reduce the stress that comes with a busy day. With our personal needs taken care of, it's time to focus on the task at hand. We get everything ready outside, and our excitement builds as we think about the upcoming engine and transmission installation.

Assembling the Engine

Now the real fun begins! We start by assembling the engine, following the guidance of our trusted Wiki. With the crankshaft, main bearing caps, and pistons properly installed, we make sure every bolt is tightened according to the specifications. Attention to Detail is crucial to ensure everything runs smoothly. Occasionally, we encounter minor hiccups, like missing bolts discovered during editing, but we quickly fix them, eager to see our engine take Shape.

Installing the Pistons and Cylinder Heads

With the engine slowly coming together, we move on to installing the cylinder head. We carefully place the head gasket and tighten the bolts, making sure everything is sealed properly. The camshaft and timing chain require precision, but with the Wiki as our trusty companion, we Align the marks and secure them in place. The timing cover, Water Pump, and various pulleys are installed step by step, bringing us closer to completing the engine assembly.

Setting Up the Timing Chain and Distributor

The timing chain is essential for synchronizing the engine's internal components. We attach it carefully, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the camshaft and crankshaft. Next, we focus on the distributor, a crucial component for the engine's Ignition system. Following the Wiki's instructions, we fine-tune the distributor settings, optimizing the engine's performance.

Installing the Oil Pan and Gearbox

With the engine assembly complete, we move on to the oil pan and gearbox installation. We tighten the oil pan bolts, taking extra care not to miss any, as discovered during the editing process. The gearbox is then mounted, ensuring a secure connection to the engine. As we progress, we encounter minor obstacles, like adjusting the engine Height to align the bolts properly. But with some creative problem-solving, we overcome these challenges.

Mounting the Carburetor and Accessories

Now, it's time to focus on the engine's accessories. We mount the carburetor, which also houses the intake manifold, streamlining the process. Adjusting the carburetor's settings becomes a breeze, as we follow the Wiki's guidance. We connect the necessary wires and ensure everything is tightly secured. As the engine begins to take its final shape, our excitement grows exponentially.

Finalizing the Engine Installation

We Are nearing the end of this car-building Journey. The engine plate, connecting the engine to the car's chassis, is fixed in place. The clutch assembly and fuel pump are installed, bringing us one step closer to the finish line. Just a few more bolts, an oil filter, and the electrical wiring, and we will be ready to turn the engine over.

Conclusion

Although we haven't experienced the joy of firing up the Satsuma's engine in this episode, the anticipation continues to build. With each meticulous step, our car is becoming a true masterpiece. In the next episode, we will Delve into starting the vehicle, installing the axles, and ensuring all fluids are correctly distributed. Stay tuned for the grand finale of our car-building adventure in My Summer Car!
