After 2 long weeks of having my poor baby in the garage downstairs,im finally finished installing my rebuilt engine.Its running awesome,so much better then my old engine with its 420 000kms.Now im ready to open up the old one and check if its worth rebuilding or not,hopefully i wont fall on some oval cylinders.Thanks to all that helped with my little problems although i found this to be alot easier then i had imagined.Im only 19 and im starting mechanic school in june and thanks to this board and my haynes manual i managed to do it with only one big problem:i broke one of the studs on the wastegate assembly that connects to the exhaust downpipe.Must have been torqued like crazy before cuz i barely put any strength unscrewing and it snapped.Tried an easy out and that broke inside so machine shop did it for 50$ cnd.
