well.. long story short.. I let this SR sit in a s13 for a year because I didnt register the car..and one day I descided to start the car, and when I did.. i didnt prime the oil pump.. and it started to screech, so I pulled the motor.. and found that the head cam bearing to be really badly err... yea the cam basically ate away at the cam bearing, so i picked up a used Head from a friend, from a good motor, and had it cleaned and redone, and reinstalled everyting including a new oil pump. I just want to ensure all is as it hsould be before I start it. any suggestions?

unplug your ignitor chip and do a few small turnovers and then plug in your ignitor and let her fire.

Oh and I would suggest that you change your oil and oil filter (but you probably have).

Well I placed a piece of wood underneath and used another that I hammered on to straighten out the pan, and all is good NO oil leacks and its still perfectly flat to seal with the oil pan, its actually VERY tought, I mean the oil pan, it took a bit of beating to work out.
