Not even a joke lol. My neighbors or so noisy and you can be working and they'll be lookin at you threw the glass when they drive by lol. Thankfully we all get along so there not that bad. Makes me nervous though because I dont want anybody snitching on me whenever the antifreeze made a mess in the driveway.... I tried to clean it up as fast as possible. Oh and not to mention whenever I was tugging on the motor I was hoping it didnt roll back to the firewall or slide threw the condenser. Glad it's all coming together. I think I'm gonna order a new upper intake and solenoid valve.... the plastic is quite worn out and has 472k miles on it.

Yes I would,if it's the original one still on there. Didn't know they'd last that long.

Yup this plastic upper intake original but there really no damage . Just worn where the bolts got through. I'll order a new one anyways so I can have it . If it gets here fast enough I'll install it. Otherwise I'm waiting on a purge solenoid that decided to bust where the bolt goes through

I know this pops up every now and then. But heres what i did to install my motor mounts. Harbor freight cheapo tool $20. Saved my ass.
Not gonna lie it sure is a pain and takes a lot of patience, plus a lot of crap falling in your eye but if you hold your tongue right and fish the bolt up it works..... got all 6 tightened and installed without taking the control arms off.
If anybody wants a shot I recommend it. Oh and dont try it with mosquitoes around..... guarantee you'll drop the bolts or bang your head lol. Dont ask how I know....
