When installing the cylinder head back, Does it need to be at TDC? The Bentley manual doesn't say anything about that.

I see no reason it would have to be at TDC. The timing belt or chain is not connected to the crank yet and all valves are closed. I had it at TDC anyway when I put my head on so I wouldn't forget later.

just came back from the junkyard here in SD and their is 2 oil pans

Shoulda specified locally...would you entertain the idea of pulling those pans for me If I don't find something today? My chicks most likely gonna be making her way down for the weekend so Im sure we could arrange a meet-up and price.

As long as the valves are all closed (no cam installed?), you don't need to worry about it until you start opening the valves.
With a cam installed, align the head and block to their timing marks. You don't want to risk mashing valves against the pistons.

Fail/cool story of the day: Leaving my friend's house I came to a street light and just before the light turned green I decided to play with the headlights. As soon as I popped it back one click the whole car shut down! No power, nothing... After trying everything, I hopped to the back after waving people by and put the loose battery terminal back on XD I had only hand tightened it the day before

Tuck that rear bumper nic. Looks good otherwise. On a side note anyone know of a 2002 roundie for sale or trade for my524td. Been driving the hell out of this thing and i feel its just to big for me. Never even use the rear doors. I'll give up the fuel economy for style.

:rofl: glad it wasn't something serious
