You DID make sure the oil squirters were installed, right?

Yeh, I'm putting this shit back together tomorrow.

I ordered new main bolts so that I can put them back in :)

Ok, I would HATE to see you forget the squirters and go to start the car and have ZERO oil pressure.

Haha, well just like So Live says below...MAGIC.

No but seriously, we used the old the subframe from the white car, put springs on it and then wheels. As for the front end, I hooked up my engine hoist to the front subframe and then pulled it over. NOT EASY but we did it :)

Magic

looks good dude!

Thank you, and get to work!

Finally had the chance to do some more work on the motor!!!

I should be done by next weekend.

I snapped a two of the three torx bolts that are up front on the head. One is still stuck in the timing case cover.

I snapped the one that goes through the chain guide and the one to the left of it (drivers side) :(

Gotta order them and get this shit done already!

Anyways, on to the pics:







S50 Cams in!
