Default Finally done, updated with Video...

Well after trials and trebulation, I finally got the car fired up today around 5:30....

Last night around 10 after the inlaws left, I went back out to work on it, when I probibly shouldn't of. I was trying to put the bolt in the oil pan and the string came off, and plop.... the bolt goes in to the oil pan. Well I called it a night after about 30 minutes of cussin.

Went to Autozone the next morning picked up a magnet, came home, and had it out within a couple seconds. Then after I successfully got the oil pump all the way on I started on the valve springs...

Did two full sets, and on the 3rd, ping... one of the retaining nuts went awol... Well after finding out TSP didn't send any like requested, I called around and found the dealership had only eight in stock, so I bought them all, just incase. lol.

After the valves springs were done around 2:30, every thing went like a charm.

I have a video and a whole bunch of pics. But I need to run to walmart and get a cable for the camera. And then I will post up the goods...

Car sounds amazing, idles at 650 right now, hopefully ellis will be availible tomorrow, cause I am coming over. lol.


The job was not as hard as I thought it was, but damn my back and neck are killing me. lol. It was a big help to have my buddy there as well.

Yes its the cam in my sig, its a custom grind by Pred-Z PTV clearance there was no problem do to not doing the heads, Its cam only.


Well I could have had it done in one day.. But I had my inlaws come over and that took up a few hours, So I started around 10 the smorning, and had it completely done around 5, taking my time, and double checking everything.
