My progress will be slowing quite a bit going forward. I'm going back to work on the 2nd and it will be a couple of weeks before i get the motor back from the machine shop. There are still a few things i can do in the interim such as installing the rocker trunion kit and cam phaser lockout.
Pulling the motor was such an involved process that I'm wracking my brain to be sure that i do everything i need to while i have unlimited access to the engine compartment. I'm thinking of adding additional thermal protection to any wire harnesses in the vicinity of the headers. If anyone had ideas on other other tweaks/enhancements best performed with the motor out of the car, please let me know.
