- Start date
Better hurry up haha
I have enough time thankfully.
Last piece to the puzzle came in, tomorrow I'll be working on the suspension. Can't wait to put the Buddy Clubs back on.
Thanks man
Here it is guys, everything came out nicely. Love the ride quality now with all the new bushings and spherical pillow mounts. Only thing left is front LCA bushings and my SPC camber kit. Might change out the rear UCA bushings too but its debatable. All preloads were set to Buddy Club specs so nothing is off at all.
Old broken cartridge and new.

Looks good, Jesus.
Thanks broskie
I'm getting the engine ready, installed the ARP studs, cometic gasket with copper gasket spray, and head was torque down. Wanting a few more gaskets to come in the mail. Engine swap should be this Saturday.
Bought a brand new Craftsman torque wrench just for this.
Ugh! pistons need some love!Thanks broskie

They are not that bad.
Engine is in, sorry no pics. When I do work like this I forget to take pics and even eat food, lol. Even though I reused all the sensor off the b20 I took, it's running better and maintaining the proper voltage at all times. Ordered a used GSR crank pulley and my belt was too big. Went to Autozone and they couldn't find one smaller but turns out on the website it shows up and not on there in-store system. New throttle bracket came in and ordered a bunch new stuff.
keep the updates and pics comin!!!Sure will.
New control arms are in and cars aligned. Kosei K4R's are on too.
Much needed Hard Race sway bar bushings came in, they clank every bump. Heat Barrier came in, 
wrong ones though, I need stronger one for what I'm doing. Lastly my Eastwood Rust Ecapsulator spray that I'm using before the paint, its supposed to be the best for painting over and rust prevention.

Valvetrain got loud out of nowhere, valve lash is perfect. I ordered S2 LMA because I got $10 off from a coupon. Super happy, my buddy had some AEM new old stock pulleys laying around for 6 years lol, his giving them to me. Finally, like I said it's time for aesthetic mods and bought some folding mirrors for the 4 door.
"paint the oil"? Where are you going to use the heat barrier?
