Not bad dude good luck keep the pics rolling.

don't get paint in the knock sensors. Right after..take a can of brake clean and a rag. Spray rag and wipe the freeze plugs. Clean plugs look so nice
Ok. so I told you I'd post up when I got a chance. Most likely these links will break soon, but PB is being a pain and won't let me move them at the moment.
Ripped it
Supported trans and pushed outside for a cleaning
Used leaf blower to dry it quicker
Heading back in.. it's tight..but not bad. (I pull/install as one person)
Spring goes in the hole first then the cylinder goes on the spring. If you have the high pressure kit washer, I'm not sure the actual size of the washer but bill probably does, then that goes in the cylinder before it goes on the spring.
Another way to think of it is the spring goes "inside" the cap then the assembly goes into the block spring first.
I would not install any shims or anything in there.
If you want more pressure get the spring and valve from an 04+ car.
Its supposed to be pretty cheap from the dealer compared to ZZP.
Just the one cap on the spring, when the oil filter housing goes on it pushes the cap inside the block.
Your going to want to put the rear header in the car first, don't attach it to the cat back or anything yet, then put the motor in.
Got a pm, somehow he made it fit with the header on. Seems like the harder way to do it.... it fit though.
I'd have to see that to believe it lol. Maybe hey had the engine tilt on sideways ?
I've heard it's possible, I'll leave that to others. I'm comfortable using the method you and I mentioned. Sit exhaust in, lower motor, bolt together.
Speaking of.. I snapped a couple pics of how to do the diff/engine bracket and reverse bolt w/o taking off a tire.
Updates:
RTV Copper Stuff - first time user
EGR & crossover assembly with the RTV
Bit of a major oversight, pulled the plugs and found this crack. The plug actually had 2 cracks. Could that have been ticking? I am thinking of swapping that plug back in when done to see...
Preparing for descent with the big a$$ Speed Daddy beastly rear header & new motor mount
Father in law ratcheting motor up so we can obtain the angle
Fast forward... BAM! In with the rear header & Cross over on!!
Downpipe is gonna hang quite low
I required zero fire wall pounding for the front O2 - it fits with lots of room to spare.
Pics are up, I agree that dropping the motor in without the exhaust is easier but it really went in no problem with the ratchet strap allowing us the angle. While I was dropping motor with the angle I think it would have been very close having the entire header setup bolted on. Maybe next time...
That plug could very well be the cause of the ticking. If it is at least you'll have a good motor laying around to cam
