So i just finished my ka swap this weekend with the help of Steve (a.k.a. Dalaz_68) and his knowledge. I ran into the problems of not being able to find parts, and going with my auto transmission made it real hard to find stuff. well anyway, the weekend came quick last week, well i was waiting for parts. The parts arrived on Friday thanks to Steve. i pretty much worked on it all Friday night until 1 or 2 a.m. i got tired and went to sleep wishing she would run tomorrow. i woke up around 9 and had to go work for a bit with my cuz at some basketball games. It was really easy money. Anyway, i went straight to my car after the games and worked till bout 4 with the dang dizzy. boy, was that a pain setting that thing. i did it 3 times and said "well im hungry" lol. After Grandma cooked me some pork chops, i decided it was time to finish this ***** off. I went back down and put that damn dizzy in for the 4th time and got it right. i started it with ease. Since the exhaust is different on the SOHC and the DOHC i have no exhaust what so ever. it is the loudest ricer i have ever heard. So i started it and let it run for a couple mins. looking for leaks. I found one, a really big one. On my oil filter housing or whatever its called there is a Allen bolt that i had taken out during the rebuild. i put it back in just didn't tighten it. so oil was shooting out of there. i fixed and realized i have a coolant leak also. Its coming from the radiator drain plug in which i lost, so i had to use a bolt. so its leaking a little bit. other than the loud exhaust, and small leaks, as far as i can tell, she runs ok. here is the video of her running. its really short, but i think you guys get the point.



I just really wanted to thank Steve for those needed parts and the long phone convos bout cars cars cars, Nico for support us "RICERS" lol, and my friends and family for supporting my long strenuous expensive habits. So Thanks Guys for the Help

Sorry guys its really crappy quality...
