Got a good bit done today. Lisa was in bed til almost 4 o'clock. She needed it. So did I. Good stuff Frank, you've got a sharp eye for this stuff.

Here's some pics...

I think I'm most pleased with how the lower intake turned out. I installed all new injectors with OE orings, seals and insulators.

The timing belt seriously tried to make me its b!tch. I kept getting the PS behind one tooth. Then I remembered somebody saying they led it a tad, but every time I tried, it kept slamming forward. So, I got a pry bar and stopped the spoke of the sprocket from going forward anymore while I put the belt up on it. New Gates timing belt, tensioner and water pump. New OE water pump gasket, water outlets/pipes, valley pipe oring, tensioner spring, and lots of new bolts (because I got tired of playing pick-a-bolt <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

I've got to figure out the brackets for the motor mounts and stuff. It's been several months since I took it apart and I've forgotten how it goes. Any pics that may assist in reassembly would be greatly appreciated...

Got both valve covers mounted and everything below buttoned up...

I'm taking tomorrow and maybe Wednesday off from work, so I should be able to get more accomplished. Brendan, I may be ready for you by the end of the month <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
