ok installed engine today POPS happened to come outside while i am putting my shiny new RB oil cooler lines. he told me put them on really tight. well i did i cracked the front cover where it goes . YAY YAY YAY. this means i know get to jack up the engine remove the oil pan, remove OMP, remove front eshaft bolt, pop off broken front cover. order new gasket, install front cover my old engine, install main eshaft pulley and nut, reinstall OMP, install oil pan. so much fun. as you can tell i'm very pissed right now. this sets me back atleast a WHOLE day getting the car running......

That's the first time I ever heard of that happening. Are you sure that you can handle the FPR?
