hehe yeah I'm so excited to get it done I wish I could call in but where I work you actually have to have a doctors referal in order to stay home. I'd love to hook a web cam up I have all the stuff needed but the only problem is the computer is 10miles from the shop and I only have Cable internet access. I will, however, be filming it and with a little help posting it online so people can download and view it. Oh and Rogue, no I didn't go with pontiac blue I went with GM Black. The car is black and the interior lighting (and MSD ignition) is red so I was thinking either red or black and red would look dirty in a hurry, especially here in washington, so I almost had to go with black. My work schedule really conflicts with my wanting to get this thing running. The engine guy is going to button up a few things and on thursday (the only day I get off before he closes) I'm going out to do what I can. I'm going to stay there as long as he stays open and hopefully get most of the rest of it done. If I'm not finished then I'm spending the ENTIRE weekend there until this is finished, I don't care if I don't sleep I'm getting this thing done BY THIS WEEKEND damnit! My goal after its running is to put 3000mi on it as fast as I possibly can. On the 2nd oil change (500 miles) we're sending the oil to a local laboratory so they can analyse it and tell me how much the bearings are wearing. If all is well the next 2500 miles are going to go QUICK. I'm taking trips to oregon, canada, around town, everywhere I can so once I hit 3000miles of breakin I can see what this thing really has. We should have a meet in the washington area shouldn't we? hehe

ok Jay, drive to your first oil change (drive 700 miles) and then make a trip here.
Total Estimated Time: Total Distance: 2381.53 miles
38 hours, 34 minutes
you can test it out on the local drag strip, cause in less than two days flat youll have covered your break in quota .. I can even have 5 qts of your favorite oil waiting for the post breakin oil change

AHHHHHHHH!!!! This is getting so frustrating! I'm tired I need to go to bed but I gotta find out where all this crap goes. I'm calling out to everyone with a 1993 SSEI or similar that has a digital camera. I need pictures of all over the throttle body area mostly what all hooks to the vacuum device on top of the supercharger, the items near by, and where the MAP sensor goes. Also pics of the power steering reservoir bracket and where it goes. Oh and there is a hole in the block I'm not sure what to do with. When you're looking at the engine from standing infront of the car its just to the right and below the head and just above the bell housing on the engine side of things. Really I could use insane amounts of pictures of everything you can imagine. Most important is the throttle body areas, the vacuum connections, and the connections on the back of the engine. Please anyone who can do this please do ASAP. I'm hoping to finish this thing up but the book I have and the photos I have only take me so far. If you are willing to do this and think you have enough pics of it take 20 more. Any help is appreciated
