IT'S ALIVE! (Do a little happy dance)

Thought I would share my happiness with you guys. I finally got my motor put in my RX.

Lots of choice words during the entire installation, everything that could go wrong along the way did, but we persevered.

Now, the new motor holds excellent oil pressure (according to the stock gauge at least) compared to my old motor. And she has great power, at least from 2.5k to 4k. Haven't been over that, but will in a couple weeks, after I do some break-in driving.

Thanks for the help I got along the way!

That's where the spare car is going to come in handy.

I plan on taking the 4 460cc injectors from the spare car and send them out for a good once-over. Then, when I get around to it, I will replace mine. It is so nice to have spare parts laying around now, less worrying about something breaking. If it does, oh well, go out to the car and grab another one!

She is running great, I drove it to work today and she is so quiet and smooth. I can hear my bad rear shocks thumping over the engine at 55 mph.
