I wanted to give a huge “Thank You” to Jason for all his hard work and patience with my engine repair. :beer: It’s great to have guys around like Jason as well as the entire MACA club you can turn to in your time of need for support. I also want to thank Dustin (Flowgoode), Tim (Tidoh) , and others who helped with my engine R&R, it makes it a lot less tedious when you can get together with friends and enjoy the time as well as work..:banana:
For those of you who are not quite sure what this is all about, refer to the following two threads. The first is the engine tap I had due to the timing chain, the other is the post right after the removal with pics of the bad chain.

All in all.. about 4K and 4 weeks later.. The car is up and running great. As I said before.. a HUGE THANK YOU to Jason and everyone else who helped either in person, or online by answering my annoying questions :bash: and throwing in advice :read: where it was needed to get me through.
Below are some pictures of the re-install:
Last piece of advice I can offer from this, when you install a starter, be sure to TIGHTEN ALL THE NUTS!!!
Much love..
