Well the rebuilt short block is in (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's never easy, but this time it was insane! I was working alot just to pay for this (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Plus pulling everything apart and putting it all back together a few hours every night and the weekends in 95 to 110+ deg heat.
There are some people I gotta thank first of all..... My wife..... just kidding (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) Vic over at Performance Speed & Machine for not butt raping me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) on the short block! AndyJ for sending me some stuff I needed badly (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) SteveD at Prostop Performance for going WAY out of his way to get me some brake line's (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banana.gif) Tony Guaglione at Hiline motorsports and Carbotech for rushing(making) a set of pads to me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) And everybody here (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/hail.gif) I have been using the search option alot! Here are some pics of this round of mods The motor, notting special.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/7de9211d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/53f1cb75.jpg Modified water pump http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/ee3f0185.jpg Oil recovery/ HVAC removed http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01079.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01080.jpg 996 setup http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/2fb78ada.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01081.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01084.jpg Some stuff to make it a little safer on track! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01102.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/1fc94db3.jpg Now I have to get out there and do the alignment........

I would put clamps around the oil recovery hose. May not need it, but "stuff happens" on track and the last thing I'd want to do is put oil down or catch my own engine compartment on fire.
