well some tomei's fell into my lap and i was gonna pay the guy who i got em from to do my install (and timing belt,waterpump, etc.), but then i thought..wait...i just printed out all 800+ messages of that fsm..ill do it MYSELF lol...so anyway i was just wondering if anyone had any tips for me to look for/go by while installing these and doing my timing belt. Like i said i will be goin by the service manual i just wanted to know if anyone had sumthing they ran into that would help me out

i looked over the few motor build posts and didnt see any hiccups in ther install so i decided to post just to make sure.

but just to keep yall updated (many of u may remember that i have been very abusive to my motor/car -not purposely lol- and she's taken car of me)she is runnin very well...i just upgraded the fmic (a little laggier but not horrible) and got a tuned ecu for the mods that i will be getting

thanks for all the help you all have given me in the past and for whatever may come in the future

you might want to get new cam seals and and do you have a torque wrench? if not you might want to get one from somebody and follow all the torque specs in the fsm. btw, you enjoying your new seats?

Use a torque wrench meant for light torques.
