wow... Man great photos and very in depth. Boy do I need this. I 'm also in the middle of my own overhaul. By the way, I hope you can help me with this. I'm kind of stuck on the crank shaft keyway. I'm not sure if the keyway suppose to stick out? and if it does how much does it stick out? what's the proper mm? I have another question about the the crank shaft having a loose spring pin sitting in the middle. Is it suppose to be there? And how does it look like? I was trying see if you have any photos of that reassembly. I hope you could help me. Thanks

I gotta confess, I don't know the specs for that...the only thing I remember doing is making sure to grease the keyway. I didn't have to deal with replacing the clutch this time around. It was a simple mate for me when I put the engine back together. Also, are you talking about the wire ring from the release collar? I don't remember any pin springs in that part of the assembly...there are some springs farther back on the eccentric shaft from what I remember. Sorry, I can't be of more help!
AWS is basically for emissions and is only on the US spec models. Most people remove it because all it does is warmup the car on a cold start so that catalytic converter gets up to operating temperature faster. It's annoying as hell so most people just go and remove it, like I said. It's one more thing to screw with your idle.
wstrohm, ganking is just american slang for taking/stealing lol...I just meant please don't go claiming the photos as your own or something for your own site, bla bla.
Oh, and thanks everyone for the comments! I got a little lazy with the photo taking at the end...so sorry if the detail starts to go off there. I think the hardest part was putting the engine together...getting it in the car wasn't as big of a deal IMHO. Thanks!
