      thats awesome. Would love to do this with a major project like a complete motor swap or car restoration.

      LS1 Swap, Wilwood BBK, Eibach pro springs, Bilstein shocks, Turner Sway bars, Ram
      Stage 3 clutch.Patriot Stage Two Head & Cam pkg.LS6 style heads with 59cc combustion chambers, 225cc intake/83cc exhaust runners and 2.02" intake/1.57" exhaust valves.cam has a 228°/224° duration at .050", .591"/.583" lift, 112° lobe separation. And a partridge in a pear tree.

        With about an hour of breaks between the end of the USA Canada hockey game, and other various smaller ones, about 8 hours. I'm betting we can get it down to six if we worked the whole time, and didn't have to spend so much time on cleaning/troubleshooting. Things always go faster when you do them more, too... So realistically, it should be about six next time.

            Like I said earlier, about eight hours with some substantial breaks. We weren't adjusting the valves, since they had recently been adjusted, and I'm guessing it would have been easier to adjust them when the head was installed.

              I'm just trying to figure out what you were doing on the ground there for a few minutes with the head/intake manifold

                Oh, we were installing new intake and exhaust manifold gaskets. That was one thing that was much easier to do outside of the car. I highly recommend removing the head with the intake manifold attached, it makes things a lot easier, and you don't have to buy gaskets for it (I had some lying around, so I slapped them on anyways).

                    The software is istopmotion. We would have put it on a workbench, but A. it is fairly narrow, and B. it still had oil in it, and we didn't want to get the workbench all slippery.

                    Regarding the transmission, we may be putting it into Luke's (1990e30325i) car (he was the one that called you about it/came and picked it up with me). His car is an auto (the vert is a five speed) and his tranny is acting up. We're kinda seeing if it gives out one day, or if it just needs a fluid change or something. So, in short, it is still in his garage, but it should be going in a car pretty soon.

                            Haha, yeah. Maybe I should have put it in the first post, so as to not confuse the people that aren't willing to read more than a few words...

                              pretty cool. where did you get the time lapse software from?
                              I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.
