Slow day on Sunday. #2 son and wife came by to work on the passengers window regulator which after a few tries, figured out how to use improvised fasteners to get it transplanted from the donor. Works well and no bad noises. In the meantime I changed the O2 sensor and started on reassembly of the front of the engine. New timing chain, sprocket, damper and magnet installed. I hesitate to post this but I violated my personal rule to walk away from something that is giving trouble and come back to it later with fresh eyes. In any case, the front cover just refused to go on smoothly, but it kept hanging up, on the oil pump drive I believe. I did give up and intended to come back to it on Monday, but after the kids left, there was time before dinner so gave it another try and proceeded to crack the cover between the crank sensor mount and oil pump cavity. ? I guess I have been spoiled by doing most of my engine work on an engine stand. Oh well.
