I like the oil on the coil packs. Aids in spark lubrication.

UPDATE:

Well, nothing much because I've been dealing with Freelica for a while since I'm still waiting on random BEAMS parts to come in.
Got myself a stock airbox, b pipe, extra coils, O2 sensor from a member in NZ so those are checked off the list.

Still waiting for that UPS guy from Colorado to drop off the rest of the stuff and I'll be able to get started. Tracking says he'll be in Wisconsin this weekend so hopefully he doesn't get lost or delayed. laugh.gif

In the mean time, I can finally be a poser!

I think they like to be referred to as "Questionable".

My garage is getting packed. There's 3 engines (including the one in the engine bay) and 2 trannies, as well as a mess of misc parts and pieces all over.

sorry for the crappy pics. it was super bright and sunny out and my phone is more of a potato than an actual device so it does not do well with lighting of any kind.





FEDEX guy came but totally didn't leave the engine in the engine bay with the wiring hooked up like I had requested. Just left it hanging on the hoist. They're gonna hear from me.



so now I'm tasked with taking all parts I want from the redtop and transferring it over to the greytop as well as degreasing and cleaning it up.

found out that my VVT solenoid is busted so I'll have to switch that over.






I'll have to get my checklist when I get home and see what parts I have left to find. Should 95% there I think.

I heard the FedEx guy wasn’t happy with the AirBNB in Winconsin. The owners left bossy sticky notes all over the place.





Plus the place was overrun with bunnies.

luckily it was easy enough to pop them both out and swap it over instead of spending $100 or so on a new one.

Had a relaxing and productive time this past weekend.
Finally got out and did some fishing with the wifey. Spent 2 hours out there just enjoying the day. Weather was perfect... for fish anyways. got poured on for about 10 minutes and then it let up to light drizzle and eventually stopped.

Here's a picture of my catch of the day, not bad seeing that we haven't gone fishing in about 5 years. I still got it. lol


afterwards, came back home and spent the day in the garage refreshing and degreasing the greytop.

FEDEX guy sent me the 2nd part of my shipment.



changed out the water pump & timing belt.




timing belt cover, alternator, & ac condensor back on.

also, still need to change out the thermostat and change the metal pipes as mine is bent just enough to feel uncomfortable. frown.gif





parts I still need to get are:
- axle carrier bearing bracket
- GT radiator
- GT radiator hoses & various other engine hoses
- Power steering compenents? (I think I need the GT ones)
- gotta double check the engine mounts and see which ones I have/need still
- GT throttle cable? Does the ST one work?
