yeah pretty much the same here, mine did clean up pretty nice though after it was scrubbed by my mechanic and i replaced the tems electronic covers since they were rusted and stuff like the heat shield for the abs lines, im really focused on getting the engine in and running first, once thats done pulling the engine and just putting it back in is not such a big deal later done the line
nice on getting the engine in, like you said it could have been worse and good thing it wasn't
yeah. i gave it a good scrub but still alright could be better but its alot less oily then before. lol yeah thats my focus also to get it in and running. everything else doesnt really matter,
thanks, yeah it could been alot worse but after the chain slipped it gave the motor a angle to easliy go in LOL, but nothing a little jack and a 2x4 and a sledge hammer cant fix.

update
friday night, got the motor turned over for the intial crank. had a few issues it started on the third try. the cps timing was way off and didnt want to crank.
after fixing the time got the motor cranked sounded great!!! but i was noticing coolent leaking it was from my new water pump the bearing had failed.
saturday, took the water pump out and replaced it with another new 1, as installing it the paper gasket ripped!!! was angry by this time cause everyone was now closed at this point! called a few ppl to see if they had spare no one had , so i rtv'd the gasket and the water pump ( ps duane it did work ), i got it all back together and started it up after the second oil change and took it around the block!!! no im just re adjusting to the rps clutch as it was way stiffer then stock! relised my WB wasnt working so ive been driving like a granny all night didnt know my afr's. also i have a big exhaust leak sounds like its coming from my turbo to manifold not to concerned about that now cause im breaking in the motor now then tune really soon.
today! i will be get pictures up and a video! im going to fix the WB today, wash the car and clean up my ecu!

Are you using the Flex-a-Lite brand control box thermostat? They are garbage, and fail easily. Mine left me stranded twice before I wired in a separate relay.

Hahaha yah I would if the weather wasn't so shitty!!! Its been raining, and the vids on my phone.

Yah I'm running a flex lite fan controller so far so good. It didn't work cause of a bad ground.
You can use that controller, but I recommend wiring in a separate relay and bypassing the internal one. The fans draw so much current that the terminals unsolder themselves form the circuit board. Happened twice on mine last summer. Do it now or risk overheating in the summer!arizzle;1531286 said:
well right now i have the fans on everytime when ever the car is on. but im thinking of going back to the fan clutch and also the A/c fans. but will i was wondering if my a/c fans will turn on without the A/c pump? and no a/c unit.
update fixed my power steering pump and fixed my turbo manifold leak. took a few pictures and got a bit carried away!
also installed a airguide!!

All your hard work is paying off, it looks like you've now got a fast, beautiful car! Be sure to put a small zip tie on that fuel AFPR vac line, because if it pops off under boost, your engine will go lean. You'd better zip tie ALL your vac lines. I found that the stock vac lines really start to pop off around 15+ psi, and I got so tired of that I went all silicone WITH small zip ties, good for over 30lbs of boost!
If you're going to get it tuned on a dyno, you might want to consider throwing on a meth kit beforehand, they're only $330us on eBay and will let you tune up to 22psi, which on my setup, gave me another 75 hp on pump gas. If you add the kit later, it will need retuning. I did my tuning at RG racing.
