a few questions
first off does the clutch housing have be on a certain way. there is a yellow dot on it and i was wondering if it meant anything? next if i drained all the coolant do i have to bleed the system some how? and lastly where could i lift the engine up from to put it back into the car. thanks Eric
what do you mean clutch houseing? you mean the bell? it'll only go one way. you bleed the coolent system by having the fill point the highest point in the system so air exits there as coolent goes in and forces the air out. i usually use the bolt holes in the ends of the heads or the exhaust bolt holes as attachment points.

the metal thing with the teeth is what i mean i think the book called it clutch housing but i am not sure. also one last thing is how would i do valve lash on a 2.8 with it running? do i need to put the covers on, then fill it with oil, then remove them or someother way? also will oil really run out bad on this engine? thanks for the quick reply

clutch housing, pressure plate, whatever you wanna call it, just line it up with the holes and your good to go.
