Just about. haven't labeled everything yet, but I have a drawer of sensors, a drawer with throttle body parts, a drawer with relays and stuff, you get the idea.

Started out about 9am. Another nice warm day

Lined up the balancer shaft.

Lined up the timing gears.

Got the timing chain cover on.

Lifters in place. Still had a little bit of coolant pooled up.

Got the power steering pump and water pump pulley in place. That was a mistake, had to remove them again to get the motor mount on.

Tensioner in place.

8 rib Harmonic balancer in place.

Motor mount mounted and belts put in place.

LIM gaskets in place and ready to install the LIM

LIM went in without any problems.

Rockers installed.

Intercooler core installed.

Nearly done, supercharger installed.

Valve covers installed.

Everything installed.

Tomorrow I have to do a lot of cleaning, running wires better, and fixing the HVAC lines I forgot to run.
And now for the video. I have a big vacuum leak under the supercharger at the intercooler core, just like I had last year. Going to be another pain to fix..

The vacuum leak is between the LIM and the intercooler plate. Took a lot of RTV to seal it up last time.
yes, the strut bar is still leaning on the bench. It will go in after I'm done dealing with the details.
