It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, oh wait just kidding! After 12 hours of work, my car's all back together and running strong! I guess that it's not difficult its just tedious as all getout!

Now that was some dirty coolant! After changing the stuff, I seem to be running a little cooler.

Make sure you buy a big can of gasket remover, that water pump gasket is tough!

Halfway back together!

UrS4's snub has been sitting in my trunk for 6 months now. What a difference it made too! It's probably not as dramatic as in a standard, but it stopped my tranny from "thunking" when it shifts.

You may notice in picture #4 the little brown ground wire. Well boys and girls, make sure that one is connected. It leads into the ABS unit, and it causes all kinds of suprises if unconnected! I was pretty scared when I the check engine light illuminated and I recieved misfires in cylinders 1-3. Not quite sure how it came undone. If anyone has a chance, could they look to see where the factory grounding spot is for it?
Thanks again Mr. D. for loaning me the cam and crank locking tools.
