Message	But it makes things far easier and sure. And easier to prime the oil pump with the engine upside down on a stand, otherwise you're using the vacuum cleaner method. Timing belt is easy to do in the car, EFI harness is easier without the engine in. Might as well do PS rack bushings, motor mounts, bushings, etc. Might as well convert it to E85 while you are in there too! ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp KH6 (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 732 (Dead) 1991 300ZX TT 5 Sp TH1 (Stock) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp KH6 (Stock Turbos) (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp 326 (GT600R) (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 2008 Honda Civic (DD) 2014 Nissan Murano (DD) 1969 Chevy C10 383/TH350 (Toy) 1969 Chevelle LS1/T56 (Toy)
