    Just got the driveline pulled. Engine and tranny are pretty much ready to go. I *really* hope I'm going to be able to remember how all this stuff goes back in :P

        It's like a big puzzle. Pieces only fit in one spot. Make sure to label all the hardware. you will thank me later.

          Isn't it easier to disconnect the wiring harness from the engine and leave in the car vs. removing it from the firewall and under the dash ??

              I would pull it off of the ECU and toss it on the motor, then pull. Easier to clean underhood, too.

                Pull it.

                That leak seems reason enough to bore/stroke/turbo that engine. It's just preventive maintenance. :p
