| Click Here For the first update Now onto the new stuff. After working all weekend I was able to go back into the shop to continue on with the motor. My brother had previously snapped ring #2 so we were waiting on a new set from Wiseco. As soon as that showed up I got to work, and here was my progress in two short working days. Hope you like Oil pump and studs going in 
Everyone loves headstud shots!! 
Freshened heads, new valve stem seals 
On with the first one 
Now we're talking 
Lower mani goes on 
Cams going in 
New water hoses, pulleys, water pump, etc 
Valve covers, coolant lines going on 
Cam gears, covers, dirty (newer) motor mounts on 
More Cover shots 
Upper manifold on 
Set some more shit on to make it look pretty 
Made my own EGR blockoff plates while I was at it! 
Some side notes: I did not install the timing belt because I noticed the bearings felt kind of weak in my secondary idler pulley. It was wednesday so by the time I ordered a new pulley obviously it isnt going to get to me for a few days. This is where I am at with the engine currently, as I am also waiting on my Z1 stage 2 turbos to show up. Hopefully They'll be showing up this week! Thanks guys (and streetneeds!)
