Here's a list of the new parts that are now in the car:

1. Variocam chain rails
2. Variocam solenoids
3. IMS Solution
4. Rear main seal
5. Clutch (all parts except dual mass flywheel)
6. Chain tensioners (all of them)
7. CV boots (all)
8. Air oil separator
9. Oil fill tube
10. Motor mount
11. Starter

There are two items left on my punch list: replace the power steering high pressure line and an alignment. After that, hopefully, the big dollar items will be out of the way. Although, being a CA car, the next really expensive item might be the catalytic converters. We'll see if the car passes smog this summer.

Very nice. If you don't mind, what did this cost you? I'm already saying OUCH!
