Just got the motor in my car nicely wired up and bla bla bla after all the agrivating hassle with the axle matching and stuff and the moment comes to start it up... Friend yells and me not to. Crank pulley is touching, no in the driver side fender. Dont understand why. Does anybody have suggestions on what the problem could be? Any help here appreciated.

Motor mount?

more info....pics...you help us well help you

[NAiL05]

Which pulley are you using? And more info how you installed it would help. You guys double check to see if everything around the mounts is bolted down?

[mcserocki]

I'm not sure what you mean when you asked how i installed it.?. As far as pulleys go, everything belongs to the prelude except for the AC compressor. I did go and get another passenger side tranny mount, this time off of an accord. And i have to wait for my buddy to get here for pic's, stupid dog ate my cable.

[cp[mike]]

did you do a 5spd conversion, and what mounts and brackets are you using?

[mcserocki]

yeah i did do a 5-speed conversion. i used the prelude tranny mount that came with the motor. for the rear mount i went to a junkyard got the manual rear mount for the accord and filled it.

[mcserocki]

I took out the through bolt on the passsenger side and the motor bounced back into its rightful place. Now I go to crank no fuel and no fire best i can tell. Another funny thing is that my alarm i had no longer sounds whrn i plug up the battery, along with no check engine light when tehe key is on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Everything plugged up? Grounds Secure?

[cooneyb81]

check your batteries charge

[mcserocki]

Batteries good, nice yellow top, very strong. But after doing the searching for grounds, especially the MAIN COMPUTER GROUND thats supposed to be at the thermo housing, I can't find it in the harness anywhere. Anyone with a pic of the thermo ground would be appreciated.

I'm sorry for asking a stupid question. I had to have my little'r friend find the wire since the harness was stretched a little bit. I'm too damn fat to fit in small places.

You will need motor/tranny mounts out of a manual trans car.
