Alright, time for the weekend update (yeah, a little late ).

So, let see where to start. First thing I did was solder the oil pressure sensor back together.



Next I tried installing the intake manifold since I had to remove it to get the engine into the car. I gotta say, it was a tight fit. I had to flip it around from what the picture shows and go ports first, and even then I had to shove it in there after removing the EGR pipe and a few other lines.



So, I got that secured and the throttle body mounted up. Next, the injectors and vacuum stuff was all hooked up.



Then, I went to install the intake plumbing only to find it was a bit damaged.



And the airbox is damaged too. There aren't enough functional bolts left to seal properly unfortunately. So, anyone looking to sell their stock airbox and rubber tube shoot me a PM.



In the mean time, I did a quick duct tape fix.



Next up was to fill up the fluids. I'm running 100% water right now to do a flush of the system.



At that point I hooked up the battery and gave it a go. It took a bit of cranking, but it eventually fired up (no exhaust hooked up yet). After shutting it down I heard some dripping... I looked under the car to find a nice pool of clear liquid. But, I had to head off to church, and then we had friends over so I wasn't able to look at it anymore that day.




So, tonight I took a look at it and ended up finding this. Which one doesn't belong?




And I took that injector out to find this nice o-ring. Simple enough fix though! It probably happened from all the messing around with the fuel rail as it was attached to the fuel line the entire install.
