Hey guys,



I just got my "new" engine on friday and i am going to put it in tonight. is there anything that i need to be aware of before i do so?

I took my blown up one out about 3 years ago and i can't remember if there was anything specific to the order it goes back in.



any help would be great.



thanks



Erik

well since its been a while, sit back take your time, DONT RUSH IT!!! then put the JDM motor in like you would anyother motor. is the tranny attached to the motor already or is it seperace right now? If together I would clean the engine bay one last time and lower the motor/tranny combo in your bay slowly making sure everything lines up.. pretty strait forward honestly and nothing that I remember too tricky.. plus as your putting it in your memorys of when you took the old one out will prob pop back to you... ohh yah dont forget to have a beer and pizza when your done as your smilin at your FD that has been resurected!!! and get it to the track!!!
