since we have 4 bolts that need to penetrate the engine mounting plates,
to install the engine, you effectively "stab" the engine into place.

Glad you got to hear it run after all that work. Still wonder why that rod broke too.

i didnt get a chance to time it yesterday, but i did take it on a short trip to the store.
she feels good, just gotta get used to the clutch i have.
had to use a luk clutch that i had vs the PSD clutch i got from south bend.
the luk one is much softer.
but not even a drip of oil on the driveway this morning!
shes back in action!!!

yesterday when timing the engine, i had pulled off my intake to get to the #1 line.
while bringing the RPM's up to 2k to get a reading,
i noticed a oil leak, coming from the top of the engine.
was a pretty good leak too, which baffled me because it didnt leak previously.
put my intake tube back on and connected the CDR back up and not a single drop after i cleaned it.
looks like ill be pullin the turbo and putting holes in the valley pan.
