Wow, that install wasnt fun. I opted to not drop the oil pan and peel the chain off of the phaser. Took 3 trys to get it timed properly. The speed engineering system leaks terribly. I initially put it together with 3x3 clamps, but they didn't tighten enough, so I then caved and used the narrower clamps that were provided. The idle sounded healthy, but went into limp mode when attempting to pull it out of the shop. I had it towed to Speed Inc for the tune tomorrow. Another issue was the pin location for the flex fuel. It's got to be different than earlier years, because there isnt a removable plug in said hole in connector. While the car was down for install, I had the wheels powdercoated and put on some beefier summer tires. I hope I get some good news tomorrow!
