Hey guys, I pulled the motor out of my coupe, tore it apart a little, and ordered a few things :D

Mostly front and rear crankshaft seals, and intput / output seals for the tranny, and a few odds and ends.

Me and my friend also completely cleaned the motor with a pressure washer, and pics will be up soon... it's so shiny :buttrock

Alright.. Well now I just sit back and wait for those parts to come in :alright

I'll try to get some pics up tonight, my usual web space is down.

Very interesting saga - keep us informed...I think you can use this site's attachment function to upload pix even if your host site's down. P.

Lets see if the attach function works.

First pic is before washing, 2nd pic is after.

I'll upload some better ones this evening.

How did you keep water from getting in the intake and spark plug holes, etc? It looks really good after the pressurewashing.

Bry, I just plugged / taped everything. I've never had a problem with water getting into the spark-plug holes. I also used my air compressor to get all the water out.

Nate - btw, your plate filler is going out in a few days :) Keep an eye out for it.

Here are a few more pics guys :D
