Well, its in the garage now. Here are some pictures of the car, the extra parts that came with it and all the owners kit stuff, window sticker, etc. Before I pull the engine out, I want to pull the driver's side head off. I'm anxious to see what the damage looks like.





Timing chain, sprockets and guides:

Just get the motor out and then start working on it. You have to remove the brake booster to just get the cam cover off, but you can remove the motor without removing the brake booster.

Yeah, I realized that when I looked closer at the rear bolts on the driver's side, lol. Now I'm working on disconnecting everything from the engine so I can get it out.

Couple questions:

1. How the heck do you get to the exhaust manifold bolts? I can't even see most of them. It doesn't help that the manifold/cats are one piece.

2. There are a couple wire harnesses that go down to the oil pan on the passenger side. It's very tight in there, can hardly see where they go, how do you get to them to disconnect them?

3. I notice in the service manual it shows some special brackets for lifting the engine. Is there a way to lift the engine without these?

I asked the guy about why the underside of the hood was white. He said he got a new hood because someone with a hitch backed into his and made a big gash in the middle. The new one apparently came white like that.

Till one of the other guys gets to your Q's I'll toss this out fwiw.

1.) I do believe if you remove the wheel well liners you can do the exhaust bolts.

2.) Same as above and the "K" members, two of them at the front of the oil pan can come out I think 16mm wrench &/or sockets. The one on the pass side will reveal the wiring once it's out. The pieces I'm talking about appear to be holding the motor mounts, they don't as the motor mount is actually on an ear on the main frame rail. Just remove the two front 16mm & the rear two 16mm(?) and that bar will come out.

3.) This one I can't answer , but Jeff or one of the FBI can answer that one.
