Whoooooooooo after tinkering around with it i finally got the driver side in correctly then the passenger side, and when it fell into place the other two are like right where they need to be.. i just need to wait for a friend to come out and push on it a little bit so i can get the bolts in the rear mount and i will be good to start re wiring and re assembling everything..
can anyone confirm that it will be easier for me to re wire then put the intake back on since the harness goes underneath the intake? thanks for all the help and support guys.

i believe it would be easier to wire up and then put the intake on, either Manny, Dustin or Steff mentioned something about that last night haha
Finally some long awaited progress...
new valve cover and gasket,
new header and gasket and 02 sensor.
and now i'm about to go back out and start the wiring process...
wish me luck haha (:

i didn't think of it when i was pulling the engines out... i didn't label the bolts or anything either.. usually i have an extremely good memory but now that its all back in the car, i'm stumped from not being able to circle around the engine like i could before...
i'll get some pictures up in the morning, game plan for tomorrow is to get the axles back on and everything put back together so i can push it in the garage and finish it where its warm... its getting way too cold out in pa to be doing this stuff outside.

Nott that much, if you read my thread you'll see what i ran into while pulling it lol
LABEL! Mark things!! OMG I cant believe you got most of it back together, without labeling anything lol. Id be lost with out masking tape and a sharpie lol.
And youve been doing all this outside, no lift? lol no wonder you had so many problems, things are alot harder on the ground with limited mobility lol
get some pics, nd keep up the work

Seriously? FML!
sooooooooooo after talking to manny, i found out i have to change the oil pump housing,
pully, and then i can put in the crank sensor..
so far i got the old one off so i can put it on the motor thats in the car, its been challenging, but
i got the oil pan almost off enough i can get the old parts off so i can slide the new ones in and start putting it back together... can't put up any pictures because i can't find my camera... so i'll just have to describe everything for now.
hopefully by the end of the night i can have it in.... i'll give it my best, i don't want to stay up
too late considering tomorrow is the first day of hunting season!....
(: Laterrrrrrrr

Well i finally made some more progress today, i got the old oil pan housing off finally, had to file down the crank a tiny bit on the outside because it got a little chip and the new timing gear wouldn't slide on, but after 5 minutes with a file its as good as new and the gear slid right on. got the timing belt back on and now i'm just waiting for the new oil pan to get here! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

did you buy $450 worth of cf goodness?
Carbon fiber goodies... no sir. not yet at least..... i won't be getting carbon fiber anything until its time to paint the car, and i'm not repainting it until next spring! because there is no sense in it now, with me leaving for the army in may, because i won't get it back until around christmas so i figure why let the dust settle. . so i'm keeping it a mystery as to what i bought, i just can't wait until it gets here! i'll be one of the few members with a complete set though thats the only hint i'm giving! (:

As of last night, i got the oil pan back on, the smaller oil pan on, put on a new oil filter, and filled it up with oil.
got alot of the vaccume lines put on (hopefully in the right places, waiting to confirm that)
plugged in everything but 2 wires one is on the back side of the engine, and its not the one that goes into the block, i got that
one, but its near that one if anyone can give me an idea as to what it would be?
the other one, is kind of where the battery should be. it looks like the longest wire on the harness if that helps..
so other than that, i also put the alternater back on, and the a/c assembly.
all i have left to do other than what was mentioned above is put the timing tensioner back on,
then put on the timing cover, fill it up with antifreeze, and put the intake back on, throw the freshly
charged battery back in and start her up hopefully (:
VERY PRODUCTIVE DAY

good job man. I like this thread and I like your whole project in general. Nothing like resurrecting a celi... there are so few after all
hopefully someone with a more detailed knowledge of the wiring harness can help you out. I only know the general layout unfortunately
thanks man, that means alot. its always nice when you know someone likes what your doing and gives you some recognition....
but an UPDATE:
got the entire engine put backtogether, and ready to go.
it is now cranking, but not starting up....
not getting any spark.... everything else is good.... hopefully i can figure this out tomorrow!
