To knock out this seal just set it on some blocks of wood, like shown, and use a screwdriver and a hammer to knock it out.

Time to paint some parts. I wire wheel'd all the east coast rust off first, there wasn't much, but things just don't rust out here in Vegas.
Before. Timming chain cover, rear main seal housing, and water pump housing.
After.
Before. The engine mounts and balancer.
After.

Painted parts after the paint is dry and the tape removed, ah as the pile of ready to assemble parts grows.
More prepped, cleaned, and de-rusted parts ready for paint.
The alternator, A/C, and belt tensioner bracket.
From left to right, the stock coolent tube, the engine lift bracket, the oil dipstick/fill tube, and lower A/C bracket.
Lower exhaust manifold heat shield, upper heat shield, lower exhaust manifold bracket.
All painted, (paint's still wet)
About 2/3rds done painting, almost ready to put all these painted parts together.

great thread 
I like the quad 4. If I didn't have to pass PA's visual emission check, it would be on my possible engine swaps list. Since I use my fiero as a daily driver for more than 5,000 mile a year, no egr valve means it wouldn't pass.....

why not? the quad four didn't have one factory. and when you tell them it's been swapped from a 199x olds xxxxxx they should base their inspection on that. I would check with a smog ref/ do some reading up on it before I wrote it off.------------------

I found that I could not legally register my pace car in Las Vegas due to that very issue, at least going through the proper legal channels (or challenges)
It was another case of, "well this car came with an EGR, and I do not see any EGR".
The DMV required that the manufacturer of the Engine (GM) write a letter, certifying that this engine was in fact a drivetrain from a "91 Beretta" and that it meets all the emissions equipment requirements of that engine.
Unfortunately, I did everything I could to get that letter, and NO one, NOT one person was willing to put their name on a document that would only serve as a liability to them. So there was a way to do it, but it would never happen.
There are ways around this...
You could put the EGR on it, and that would make it compliant.
Or just find an inspector that is corrupt, or incompetent.
