Ya, it's an Ebay Special... The Motor is now Running, Finaly! We had an Injector leak last nite and are pretty sure it's a seal. Addressing that tonite. I got a whole lot of pics I'm gonna post, I'm at work now, but tonite for sure.
The engine sounds absolutely smooth and new.:love: All the internals were looking unuasually new. The total cost if this project has to have exceeded a turbo project though, dang. Mostly because all the parts I needed to take off old motor and put on new motor did not fit or were broke. motor=800, labor=800, parts=800+ :aigo: . More than I would have like to spend but hopefuly she will last long this time. I will post all the pics tonite!

:icon_conf well hopefully it's something more minor and fixable... like a rod bearing? I took video of my 'morning startup' and I'm posting it tonite in hopes someone can help. It Makes a low end rod knock sound when starting up and it last for about 2 seconds. There is lots of valve chatter at all rpm's too, so any advice on these motors concerning these issues would be helpful...:1zhelp:
