Now for a midweek mini update.

I hurt my back the other day, so I have to only work for a short period, and watch what I do. I figure taking off the alternator won't take that long, and doesn't include any heavy lifting.

1. Heres the front of the engine. I will probably have to swap the side that the alternator is on.		2. It sticks out about 7 inches from the block.
3. If I take too damn many pictures now, there's less chance I didn't take enough later.		4. Just making sure I know how the brackets go on.
5. Neat little braces and reinforcements everywhere.		6. Off comes the tensioner.
7. Then the alternator itself.		8. Back of the alternator.
9. More clearance.		10. Here's where teh brackets used to bolt.
11. All the stuff that came off.

Next will be the motor mounts. Maybe another night this week. The more I've played with this engine the more I've come to respect the japanese. At first I was surprised to see serpentine style belts, that were short and didn't have tensioners. But the tensioning mechanism on these things is really trick.
