Bump for update!

I took the motor out on Monday, and disassembled the LH turbo and manifold. With the help of another tech, we were able to get the whole thing done in just one day! Called the machine shop, and they said they'd be down first thing this morning.

So the dude shows up at 10 this morn. (first thing?) and pulls out all of the head oil plugs to seal them up. Well, much to my surprise, he whips out some JB Weld, mixes it up, and applies it to the threads of all of the plugs! Holy crap dude! Overkill!?

SO, now at 3, I've got the motor back in, the clutch re-assembled, and the tranny installed. Good news is, that the whole job hasn't been too much of a bastard so far...
