Bah, we keep running into little problems that cause us to stop after 2 or 3 hours. Like Saturday, we didn't have a grinder so my friend went back to his house to do it. Sunday we were going to get all the belts on and transmission mounted an put back in, but the tensioner tool won't work because it's a 2g motor mount and 1g tensioner arm, it has to be compressed manually. No vice or clamps here for me, so again he had to go home and look for something at his house. Plus after a few hours in an unheated garage, my toes are numb.

We keep finding out about these little things as we go, and since it's my first time doing any of this, I'm going pretty slow. Yesterday I figured out how cams go in, with those caps and all, and how the rockers and lifters go in, and basically how a head works. So I'm learning and taking it slow.

Yea having all the tools and equiptment is really handy. You should get a heater going when you are in there.

Hopefully the progress speeds up.

Heaters are overrated, I never had one that worked well. Just take breaks often, drink beer, too.

drink beer, too.

That's what I've been forgetting, and I had several beers just waiting in the fridge too.

Got the timing belt on, transmission on, turbo and intake on, etc etc. Now I was trying to get the timing belt cover on and ran into a few problems. Since I'm using a 2g motor mount, it doesn't seem to want to go on. Anyone who has a 6 bolt in a 2g want to give some input on this?

you need the 6bolt timing cover and cut it to fit around the 2g engine mount
