Feeling a little bit nervous...

[Touchdown038]

Well, the time for installing my rebuilt motor is coming up quickly. (I've been doing it all summer just to take my time and do it right.) I have to get a new set of motor mounts cuz my old ones were trash, but once those come it's time to drop it in.

I know I should be really excited for this, and I am, but I can't help feeling a little bit anxious and nervous about this. After all, all of that hard work (plus around $1500) could go down the drain in a very short period of time.

This is probably just the first timer in me saying "are you SURE you didn't screw something up?" and that I need to ignore it; I'm confident in my ability to not blow something like this, like forget the clutch or something.

Anyone else ever get the shakes before firing up a rebuilt motor?

Rebuilt KA24E, just stock, nothing really too fancy. College budget = nothing cool (or fast.)

I have an E and it isn't all that bad :P

With a new exhaust and an intake, it does fairly well on the highway ...Hardly any people can or do pass me...

The only thing I wish I had was a 5 spd!!! Slush boxes SUCK!!!

(if your motor blows wanna sell your transmission?)^- that was a joke...sort of. Good luck with the rebuild

I would be worried also I would make shure I was rollin with a oil pressure gauge, that would help calm my nerves if it was reading ok.
