I purchased the engine last thursday and unloaded it off an 18 wheeler today with the help of some friends and my father.

The engine shipped with the timing belt, and a new water pump installed.

Unfortunately it needs to come off, since the alternator bracket that bolts to the head was damaged in transit. One whole piece of it was cracked right off!!! I need to call them and see how they want to work this. I will install the one off my old one, if they pay me per the warranty. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It is no real problem, but I wish it shipped in a plastic crate like they said. It was on a pallet, with a box lowered over it, no real protection for the engine in my opinion.

I will keep you all posted once I install it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
