The nuts on the cat has seized up pretty well, so I had to cut it off. Here is jay helping out with that.

engine hoist hooked up. We ended up just wraping it around the IM, and using a hook on the other side.

Nice pictures man.

- KPWSerpiente - 05-19-2005

I'm really fucking angry that the machine shop didn't have those bushings pressed in at a decent hour. Otherwise we might have had a good shot at starting it wed evening.

Haha, I laugh everytime I type that. This is actually my second time cutting of cat nuts Confusedhock:. This time I'm buying stainless steel nuts and bolts, and coating them all with lots and lots of anti sieze.

Now its time to get back to work.

- .RJ - 05-20-2005

I think it is finally time to retire those shoes Sad

I took it for a drive today. VVL isnt wired up yet, its idling funky because the wiring for the TPS is messed up. I need to clean up all the wiring and a few other things, but other then that its done.

- mpg9999 - 05-21-2005

I forgot to add, a huge thank you to everyone that helped with the swap. It wouldnt have been done this fast without you guys.

congrats on the swap man, i hope the idle problem is fixed soon, hopefully it's just the iacv stuck open. Enjoy!

- .RJ - 05-21-2005
