Because I lag.
I mean hardcore lagging.
Things i did wrong:Got the "standar main set from the dealer"Ordered a new crank belt gear way too late.Re-used the stock rings.On the cheap.
Things I did:New stem seals.Cleaned everything in just parts cleaner/scotch brite pads.Measure, then measured again, then one more time.
But Sure enough I finally got the right sized mains in (grading system works perfect), and rod bearings were easy and cheap (acl's for like $14). Crank is in, 1st piston is in. Tomorrow morning back to the shop, put the other three in, torque them down, and install the head/accessories and hopefully by sunday have it pulling an idle back in the chassis.

Ya same here . Isnt the s12 bellhousing shorter?float_6969 wrote:I'd like to see how the S12 bellhousing makes the shifter sit...
Oh, sunday funday update.
Didn't have the 10mgpx b/c my brother took it to arizona road trip.
Didn't finish the assembly b/c the dealer gave me a cam seal instead of a front main seal, so autoparts store will have one for me tomorrow.
Head/cams/crank/pistons are all together, and tq'd.
Accesories tomorrow.
Concerning the S12 bellhousing. I used the last series possible (88). From what I found in my S12 hayday (yeah, i've been around for a min), the gear set, and rear half of the trans is shorter, NOT the front, so when the whole ca + trans was in the car before, I didnt really notice a difference.
It will make it in there this week, so I will take pics of the position.
I DID have to route allot of material out of the inside of the bellhousing for it to clear the sr flywheel though, keep that in mind.

Ok, so I crapped my own thread out by not posting pics.
Engine is done and in, starting and idling.
Injector problems all over, first wiring now maybe my gti-r injectors aren't flowing right? Plugs on 1 and 2 have plenty of burn, 3 and 4 are clean. 4 is working, but 3 I get no change.
Been through the WHOLE harness, and sparks, now testing the actual injectors themselves.
Just too much fun.
I'll get a pic of the shifter deal in a min.
