IT RUNS!

but not for long, I installed the oil pump spring and plunger backwards so i got no oil pressure, and i have the old EGR on and i removed the treaded end and stuck the tube into the hole for now (it was seriously broken anyway)

Oh and one of my injectors is F***ED
Excellent progress Peter. It looks great. I'm sure you'll correct the small problems in no time.......oil pressure is very important.

Oh man, this thread has been going on for some time now and this is the first time I've seen it. For some reason I miss a lot ot thread, don't ask me why. Looking good Peter, can't wait to see the end result, either way, you've put a lot of love into her.

i got my oil pressure back, that ended up being a 30min job.
but the HB is the same one off the old motor and i guess it was damaged when we were fighting it off.

and it seams getting a new one will be a bitch, i was already told by the guy a Partsource it will take to weeks to get me one (yet they have an N/a one instock )

i did find 1 on ebay last night but it was $79 plus $80 shipping!

i have to try my work and i have a buddy making phone calls trying to find one... wish me luck
