My engine rebuild.

I zoom therefore I am.
LOL
I like the optimism. But if you take the time you took here while SC'ing there isn't any reason why you should expect to blow up your engine. Having a fund set aside to buy one isnt a bad idea though.

I basically want this thing to last me through my long college career. I'm 25 now by the time I'm 30 I'll be done with school and should have moved up to supervisor at my job that I just landed.
Then I will be able to afford all kinds of crap I don't need just to say I have it. The 8 should be a fully dedicated track car by then as well.

We did smear **** tons of hylomar all over the faces and mating areas and followed the FSM for proper silicone sealing.
Just for a heads up I thinned down the crappy hylomar with a small portion of acetone making it workable. Once the acetone wears off it leaves the hylomar in its original condition.
I think that should have been fine well see when the engine starts up lol.

you also need a few other specialty tools I think you have some already. the flywheel nut tool or equivalent, flywheel stop, dowel pin puller (go with the rb one or just make one).

I made my engine adapter head from a piece of angle iron and a welder. I cut holes in one side of the angle iron/channel and then determined at what position to mount it so that the engine would be centered. Then I welded the iron to the "stock" head on the engine stand in that position. Cost about $5 and an hour over 10 years ago.
