Still having issues with vacuum leak somewhere... Thinking will just rip everything off, and try again with new gaskets... Freaking paint I used on the intake cover apparently needs to be baked on(despite not saying such anywhere on the can), so strip it off and just polish out the damn thing...

Checked with stethoscope, and yet again it's the throttle body leaking... So will order new gasket and IACV gasket while I'm at it.

Tonight after work I felt a vibration when I started the car. Odd, but didn't seem like a big deal. Vibrating turned into knocking, so after my 85 mile drive home I popped the hood and found this.
 Bad picture, I know. Basically, there are two parts of the passenger side motor mount- one bolts to the engine and one to the chassis, then three bolts hold all of this together. My center bolt is missing (likely overlooked in my rushed engine swapping last December), the bolt in front snapped, and the rear bolt is barely hanging in there. The bad part is, I have to get the car to my dad's house to fix it, 69 miles away. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Well duct tape it and then put a couple zip ties around it for good JDM measure. DuH!

Or go down to the hardware store for the appropriate bolts...? We aren't Honda owners, come on now.

Take the bolt out of a non essential component, like the brakes or steering, and use it. Brakes are for pansies anyways.
