once transmission was in, i installed the mounts, half shafts and exhaust.
put some coolant in the reservoir, and oil in the engine.
now this is the important part.
i removed the fuel pump relay, and cranked the engine 3 times for 10 seconds at a time, to allow oil pressure to build up in the tenssioners, and to get to the other parts of the engine.
i replaced the relay, and cranked the engine.
success!
the engine started right up and no parts was flying out of it :dance:
i started bleeding the coolant system and added more oil to the engine.
at one point, i started hearing a faint squeaking noise coming from the clutch area.
the noise disappeared when i pressed the clutch, or raved the engine
i decided to take the car for a run.
when i got back the noise was gone, and never came back since.
i put 350 mile on the car since and so far (touch woo) it looks great.
the car with the new clutch is twice the fun to drive.
the firs time i pressed it, i almost made a hole in the floor
edit: THE END.
