Hahahahahaha.....haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahah! Meh... lol.

Actually, Today I had to resurface that replacement oil pan, clean out the burnt in bearing and rod chunks(GOOD LORD, it was NIGHTMARISH! lol)...Then, paint it, ....then install it, then install the flywheel and clutch assembly, then the carrier mounts for the bell housing to the block, then move everything out of the way in the engine bay... then, just about to install it, ..... I realized..... "OOps, better install the diff drop kit now, when the motor's out"..... so I did that, .... and still found time to..............Next post. hahahahahaa.

Oh HECK NO, ... but I got one taken with them, and Mia, the Soccer Goddess showed up, too!

PS> Sorry Dutch, ..... couldn't fulfill your desire for a 100th page "START YOUR ENGINES!" hahaha.

 

This oil pan must have been on fire, with oil in it, with metal parts in it, .....and then left out in the rain, ...then brought in and lit on fire AGAIN! lol........ But finally, after a couple hours I DIDN'T WANNA WASTE.....



Then busted out this stuff's and installed it before rolling out of the garage......





Then pulled the motor off the stand to do the flywheel(would've done the pan on the stand as well, ...but the pan had to dry more....and then, it ended up being fine... I got down on a creeper, lowered the motor down and installed the pan.......





Then I, well, ..... I decided to, ... ya know.... PUT THAT SUCKA IN! lol.........



And just a couple of where it's sitting with the lift, new CA bushings, All new Ball joints, BJ spacers, OMEmu stuff's and Diff drop kit.....





Hope to finish and fire it up, TOMORROW, ...... and I'm FAR more nervous than I thought I'd be!

It took a good two weeks for me to get my sleeping/eating/living schedule back on track after my engine rebuild. There were times I was seriously getting delirious from the exhaustion. It's well worth it in the end, though.

Keep up the great work, Mark. We're all here waiting to share the excitement!
