Hearing an engine start after you've had it out and apart is one of the best feelings in the world. Congrats, Rob. Nice work.

Thanks, Chris. This was a first for me, and a HUGE learning experience. I now understand what to do, but have zero desire to do this again.

You must have done something seriously wrong. That doesn't look nor sound like an SC motor. ;-)

It sounds different when it's on the wrong end of the car. ;)

Any extra bits laying around?

Several parts ended up disappearing, so the only thing leftoever was some 3-prong plug that had nowhere to go. Turned out to a be a sensor related to the heater core, so it wasn't needed.

I've been pretty diligent about taping up / removing connections that aren't needed anymore. Guess I missed one. :lol:

xWhatever, for sure, one of the most satisfying sounds there is. Great stuff Rob!
