Yep, the new motor is in and runs like a dream! And for the hell of it, I threw in a lightened flywheel, new clutch, pressure plate, and trans. just so I don't have to think about it!

Good Job! Especially on the new clutch and trans "just because". That's the way I like to try to do things, too, because that way it's harder for something to sneak up and bite you in the butt!

GOOD JOB GARRETT !!!. I agree with Joe Cool...its better to get it all done while is apart then to go back and do it later. It may cost you a little more in the beginning, but it will save you alot of time & aggrevation later. [Image: cool.gif]

well, I guess you cant win every time!...I went on a bit of a drive and we had a small problem!....Driving like I allways do, flying past a BMW M3 I blew a power steering line! Thank god I'm full of TC luck, because it was not the line that blew, it was only the 'O' ring on the pressure line that comes off the pump! the bad thing was that i was about 2 hours away from home, and had nothing to fix it in the car! ( no ductape, glue or buble gum )I drove the car for 4 miles looking for a place to get a damn 2 cent o ring and power steering fluid. I found a Canadian Tire only seconds from them closing! I got the stuff and was back on the road in minutes!

Now I just hope that this is going to be the only thing to go wrong!
