[3WayStunna]

So, i just ordered an sr20 engine, and i was wondering what things i should do to it, before i put it in me car......on my list i already have


water pump
all gaskets/seals
obviously, all fluids, lol
spark plugs.....

Anything i missed, or anything anyone think i should add??.....and yeah, i know this is a celica forum, but the ppl on the 240sx forums, act like @ssholes, when it comes to asking simple questions......

and the obvious timing belt.

Also, if i was you, i would go ahead and take the oil pan off, then the rod caps and check the bearings. I know you said it only has 60xxx on it, however, it never hurts to be safe. And if you are doing all new gaskets and seals, go ahead and order a full set of bolts from apr.

By the way, do you know what you're looking for when looking at the bearings? I don't remember if that's an aluminum head or block, so be careful when scraping away the old gaskets, and make sure you buy a new tube of mechanics assembly lube.

Did i miss anything anybody??? Check the bottom of the oil pan real well, as in, clean it out, like, brand new clean it out. Because if there does happen to be metal flake in the bottom of it, a lot of the time it gets caked to the bottom and you can't see it. um....wires, cap, rotor, check the turbo filter (if it's an off-brand, either replace it (k&n, etc.)or make sure it is really clean).

um...replace the under-the-hood fuel filter (if there is one), go ahead and send your fuel injectors in and have them cleaned (somebody on this site knows a good place to send them, the company is on the tip of my toung, but i can't spit it out). um....so, all of that, added on to earlier post should set you off fairly well. Oh yeah, ask somebody on here how to check the turbo.

Well, that's all i can think of at the moment, good luck, let us know, pictures in and out of the engine, etc. etc.
