    i replaced the key and the harmonic balancer looks good to reuse still. it was 180* backwards. i put it all back together and found i had a major coolant leak around the crankshaft sensor..... ugh! now i have to take it all apart again, and figure out what i did wrong

    fixed coolant leak. turns out i forgot to put a bolt in. car starts up and runs! best of all there is no knocking noises coming from the engine, sounds mechanically sound. i will post a vid asap of it.. it does need a driver axle seal, coolant temp sensor wiring, and a really good tune up. i have not tried WOT yet, but i did open it up to about 50% and i read 1-9*knock. ive hit that once and been babying it ever sense. dont need to blow another lower end! lol

    Sit balancer on crank. Turn and push until key engages.

    BTW.. I was doing springs this weekend and wanted to try putting the lock in upside down.. just couldn't actually get myself to do it..
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
