It will be better to paint them off the engine though. You mind if we take those off Friday?

Can one of you 00+ owners take a picture of the lower intake manifold bolts for me. Oddly enough..the 97 bolts and others I've done were rounded at the top of the head..these are very crisp and precise....
Now you now how I felt when I opened up my 30 K engine to replace parts. It is a bit cleaner than that one.
Here is a dirty picture. Notice the LIM bolts.

Stick to the technical talk ABOUT the swaps/build. Two more posts deleted.
I understand we're trying to keep a light-hearted atmosphere to keep Bill'* spirits high, but do it like I do. Via PM or phone.

Thanks,
That sure is a nice clean motor you got there Mr.
Best of luck Bill I hope this one works out for your sanity and pocket book.

On the oil pressure kit.
Intense site doesn't give a URL to link to it. Under Hardcore Engine, it'* the 6th item down.
ZZP also has a similar kit.

I believe this to be the main factor as to why the second motor didn't start up with a knock from the first time I cranked the engine. It is already installed in the new motor and I'm happy to have the extra pressure backing up my mods.
I will get pictures of the pan either tonight or tomorrow. Might need a helper to move the pan under the light. It'* pretty funny how much material is in there.

Current motor came from a Bronzemist car. Thanks Mike.! In 2002 it had a carrier assembly, that doesn't appear to be a motor. Being the last record at 35K, this tells me the motor I have has less than 55K on it and looks like under 10K.
