To anyone thinking about doing the 3s swap, do it yourself. It is worth it, it will save you a huge headache in the end.

Here is the whole story,

You have to register to view it but it is to long for me to retype.

Thanks, to player for help me out on saturday!

Well I got an update, reason #2

Tonight I tore apart the engine and found out that there are no new parts on
their except for the ones I brought with me(the clutch). I pulled the tranny
and the bolts on that where not tight, half were not even the right ones.
The pressure plate bolts were not tight or even loctited, one was missing
because it was snapped. Pulled the timing belt cover no new timing belt, no
new water pump. Pulled the inter cooler no new spark plugs no new plug
wires.

Yesterday I also filed a complaint with the BBB in MD. So hopefully I will get some action off of that.
