Unhappy lost a rotor

Driving home from an AutoX last Sunday, I lost compression on the rear rotor. Seems to be a side seal. Had to drive home with just 1 rotor, geez that sucked!! So it looks like I'll be swapping in my parts car engine. Any tips or tricks from those of you who've done it before??

I just hope I can get it done without missing too many races, wish me luck guys...

I blew my last motor coming home from an autocross in February.

Tips:
1. Pull the motor out of the parts car first, you'll learn how it goes and if you break things it mostlikely won't matter.
2. Do the swap in as few days as possible, the more time that goes by, the less you'll remember about how things go back together.
3. Take lots of pictures of both cars before and during removal so that you can refer back to how things were before you touched them.
