pull the motor, just kidding, I have done what hvyman suggested but, it kinda worked. Other then that removing the upper intake manifold, look like the only solution, and it will be a lot easier to get both the starter and top bell-housing bolts back on.

This is exactly what I was going to suggest..... thats what I did

I only got a little bit done today, but its important, I got all the lines mines one that I wont need hooked up on the water neck, I still have the CPS, and O2 sensor, to rewire, but in due time. I also forgot to install the water neck that goes around the block, oops. That required me to take...

....maybe its from running no hood? haha just kidding. But yea use the mechanical oil pressure gauge, see if you get the same results, if you do probably the sending unit.

So after dinner tonight, got back to work. I put on the water pump, alternator, and turbo :) Also, I thought it was pretty cool, I went to clean up for the night, and the engine cover bag barely fits, this means I'm almost done. :D SO here are some pictures I snagged. Tomorrow's plan is to...

Ok loaded up the pictures of today's work, and last nights cleaning escapay. Dirty alternator Clean alternator :) Dirt water neck, and thermostat housing Clean ones, Got to timing the motor today, Crank set at 0 degrees, aka...

Thanks, today I set the timing, made new gaskets for the throttle body, and EGR plates and started to put the harness on. I'm needing to go to the machine shop, because I forgot I had them re-hone the block, and that required it to be cleaned, so they removed both the oil filter mounting plate...

I acually already have soon ew ones in metric sizes but I used ones that came with that driftmotion line

Small update for today, for now...I have to go to family dinner so ill get back on it later tonight. Anyways, for the front cams seals, I installed those, and used RTV (I want to be able to say this is a leak free motor, and mean it) I also torqued down the cams, 14ft. lbs, in TRSM sequences. I...

Today, so far, I have gotten the oil drive gear on and bolted down, also I prepped the head studs with their supplied lube, and put on the head. I installed the nuts also again, with supplied lube. Just a few pictures of the work, going to grab and bit to eat then get right back to it...

.....holy dear mother of baby Jesus....I like :) Very outstanding work, keep it up.

I got a lot done tonight I wanted to do more but I have to wait to get the motor on a engine hoist to install the rear seal plate, with the rear main seal. But while the motor was open, I was able to install the oil cross over line, then had to take it back off cause I realized I had to torque...

Ok not to bring this thing back from the dead or anything lol. So here is all the work I have had done on the motor so far, the good, the bad, and the ugly. 1st Machine shop. (Asked them to do the following) 1. break glaze on the cylinders 2. deck the block 3. install freeze plugs...

Lol only a 275 slick......im game.

hey do u have an extra T......dam.

well the car ran fine, till it was drove for a longer distance then usually. Just over a long bridge. Then when it slowed down, it idled weird and then died. So the wiring all looks fine. Could the TPS just be bad?

So its on a 90 NA. The motors runs, and will drive, but when I step on the gas, it takes about 15 secs to climb in RPMs, to start accelerating half way decent. I believe its the TPS, but we have both tried adjusting it, and checking the TPS itself. Any ideas on what might be causing this? I also...

Good luck with this lip, it look nice now, but your going to hate driving with it on.

Lol, I think the best part is the pre 89 turn signals on the 89+ bumper. Awesome.

OK so I went to reassemble the block for the final time, and couldn't install a new oil drive shaft bearings. So I took it up to a shop owned by a good friend of my girl friends dad, we started mic-ing stuff out to make sure the clearances were good, and most of the work I had done and was...
