I've never pulled the balancer. I'll try that next time.
Well, I found a black driver side door I can buy to replace the one I have. (someone backed into my car awhile back)
Yeah, I already pulled the balancer. I don't have air tools so I figured I better get it out while I could wedge it with Ohnoo's special tool. Also confirmed 100% that timing is fine.
Went by and visited mine at the paint shop then went and bought a load leveler for when I finally get to drop the motor back in. Oh and I picked up the engine wiring harness so that I can clean up some of the wires that I mutilated at the ECU end back when I had a SFC-II. Getting ready for the flash ECU, yea.
There is one ps pump bolt that sucks! I wanted a stick of dynamite about ten minutes into fighting it. I just got the Ohnoo tool for assembly as well. Pulled it out with no issues with the balancer on, but had Nathan help, and the ratchet strap. Plus one for tightening as you go. It will have a good amount of weight, and be a bitch to loosen in the air.Quote:

I bought a load leveler used it once, but donniekak showed me its easier to just loop some rope or a strap around the lower plenum a couple times and pull it out or drop it in. Balancer on. No problem. It tilts with trans side down almost perfectly.
Last night I put on the M2 exhaust

Tonight, I installed the blue silicone intercooler hoses, looks awesome IMO.
