<p>Kim, I admire your tenacity with the rebuild. I am not trying to be hard on you, but just to reinforce the fact that the info is there in the Shop Manual. Often, these confusing items can be best resolved by taking a break, and coming back with fresh eyes the next morning.

We all easily come to mental dead ends when we try to think something straight thru, but the grey matter upstairs is unique in that it somehow often reconstitiutes itself with a good night sleep and a strong cup of coffee (or ZipFizz ... my morning pep drink of choice!).

<p>I'm hoping that anyone that takes on removing, rebuilding and installing an engine has the shop manual at their fingertips... and a good chunk of the info stored up in the grey matter before they take it on. Just being honest. </p>

<p>Tony, I have really not done anything other than requote the Shop Manual. I have really not stated anything that is not there. This is why I strongly encourage everyone to read and re-read and understand the shop manual sections related to any maintenance, especially something as involved as removing, rebuilding and installing an engine. When I removed my engine block back in 2012, I guess I had parted out about 30 to 35 times at that point, but I still read the engine and removal section at…</p>
<p>Tony, I have really not done anything other than requote the Shop Manual. I have really not stated anything that is not there. This is why I strongly encourage everyone to read and re-read and understand the shop manual sections related to any maintenance, especially something as involved as removing, rebuilding and installing an engine. When I removed my engine block back in 2012, I guess I had parted out about 30 to 35 times at that point, but I still read the engine and removal section at least 3 times. I wanted to validated the Shop Manual process above and beyond may "part-em-out" quick and dirty way of dismantling everything and have to say the shop manual was spot on. It might take a couple of reads to get a handle on their terminology but usually by the 2nd or 3rd careful reread it is all very clear. Apparently, Kim is jumping around in the shop manual, missing up Engine Support Mounting general section 39 with the engine installation section when transmission was not removed in section 38. One of his illustrations looked like the transm bell housing to engine 6 bolts and the other looked like the trans front side support yaw mounts. When you are jumping around like that in the shop manual it makes following along difficult... especially for a dummy like me!</p> See illustration from Shop Ma…tag:6364cadillac.ning.com,2021-04-04:6543066:Comment:2708462021-04-04T12:42:47.333ZJason Edgehttps://6364cadillac.ning.com/profile/jasonedge

<p><strong>Transmission Rear Support Mount to</strong> Transmission Extension Housing - 55 ft lbs<br/><strong>Transmission Rear Support Mount</strong> to Rear Engine Support (the rear short transmission support) - 55 ft lb</p>
<p><strong>This section also notes:</strong> <br/>- the torque of the No 3 crossmember to frame (the longer front one, & the one you crossed out) - 30 ft lbs<br/>- the torque of the rear engine (transmission) support (the short crossmember) to frame - 30 ft lbs.</p>
<p><strong>These are also all noted in your Torque Specs in the Shop Manual starting on page 9-36.</strong></p>
