I should be dropping the engine and tranny back in any day now. I've decided to do it this time without the intake manifold. I think it would be easier to get to the heater core hoses, the ac lines and the rear engine mount but we'll see. Anyway on to the progress.
black top cas on:
t-belt cover and crank pulley installed:
I cut the ends off of the stock turbo oil drain line and cleaned them up and painted them.
Then I went to Napa hunting for hoses and found this one.
Trimmed it down to fit and it works perfect for an oil drain line. I hate the oem line because its so hard to get it to seal correctly. Hopefully this setup will be leak-free.
Thanks to uweenukr and his dad for the great idea I made use of one of the many dsm rear engine mounts I had sitting around collecting dust.
Elantra t-belt mount installed.
Cleaned up the alternator and installed it.
Along with the used (and hopefully working) GVR4 AC compressor that I bought.
Received my act2100 clutch kit. Hopefully it will hold the raw power of the 13g

.
I also picked up my resurfaced flywheel and cleaned the engine bay again since it had gotten dirty from sitting and us cutting grass around the car. I still have to drop by my mom's house and look through my stuff in the shop to find an O2 housing and get it put on. Hopefully the next update I make will have pics of the engine in the bay.
