motor back in, AGAIN
Well after pulling my motor yesterday. Putting in the stupid litle plug in the oil galley at the back of the block. I slid the motor back on the torque tube and bolted the subassembly back up tonight. For the second time in 1 week 
Getting pretty good at it though. So i will be turning the key tomorow night and lets hope this time i will be posting a sound clip and not a what not to do post. I am heading off for a good nights rest. Everyone wish me luck tomorow.

Good Luck!! Before you turn that key I would just check the grounds again. There was a fella not but a week or so ago that swapped engines, put it all back together, turned the key and basically no to much happened. Turned out, it was a ground he forgot to bolt up. These things and their grounds!! but good luck, hope she fires right up!!!
