I'm calmed down now. Take it easy guys. I'm just sucking it up and going with it.
I talked(yelled) with him today and he straightened some matters out.
It turns out he shipped my crank pulley and some other acc. in a separate box, so I should be seeing that stuff in the next couple days.

I'm just SOOO relieved it's here. I could almost care less about ever talking to him again!

Heres the bolt or w/e I'm missing. I've put a couple things back on, and will probably drop it in in the next few days.

Heres the latest pics. I probably would have had it in if I had my sockets for the flywheel bolts(for Pilot bearing).

Enjoy. Don't worry, I'm gonna make the best of it.
I need to know what bolt goes in the head there, so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks so far guys

Huh, so VTEC won't engauge without that hole plugged?

They did a good job on the valvetrain, and I trust their work, it's just their customer service and people skills that makes me mad.

I trust the motor. I really don't think I'll have too many problems to kink out.
but I do need to get my hands on that bolt.

Dang man.. Why havn't you posted picz up on TI yet?

So will it be ready to go in on Friday or what? I'm ready for some.. playtime.. with your new toy!

As far as what KMS did w/the packaging.. Its much worse than how you described it to me on the phone... Sorry man LS

BBUT.. BUT.. BUT...................... You have your engine now! If you wiretuck went good and you didnt cross anything, we shoudl be more than ready to go to the track on the 16 th ;)
I predict 15.6-15.8 on the first run..High 14's by the end of the day.

Can't wait!
 
Yo fool!!
You gotta get active on here dude

I think we should be able to drive it this weekend.
I picked up some oil last night, so the only other thing I'm missing right now is come colder spark plugs. I think if I can't get 7 range before the weekend I'll just run some GSR plugs(6 range) like Abel's(Taco15 btw) doing. If he can run gsr plugs no problem on his motor, I can too, cause it's about the same compression.

Aight... we'll see!
 
Hey, if nothin else, we'll snag the plugs out of my GSR and slap em in your engine. I wanna see it roll ;)
BTW, thats 14 second run is with me driving :ph34r::eek:D Hehehehe....
 
We need to get ahold of some drag radials.. We'd BOTH be in the 14's then w/out a doubt....
 
but if he took it apart theyll say it was his doing.

honda bond on the head gasket :huh:

pull the head bro, its easy as shit to re time it. i wouldnt put honda bond or silicon gasket on the head gasket but thats me.

i would check it thoroughly but then again i put together my own setup just so i knew it was done right.(no offense)
 
I hope your engine is fine and they did a great job with it. Good luck bro!
 
Dude I hope they did better work on the internals than they did with the exterior.

And I hope itll run pretty smooth for ya!

Good luck
 
I don't know if I'll mess with it. If it breaks, it breaks. I sue KMS, get some money back :eek:.

I'm tempted to pull the head off and check it out, but I want my car running guys... bad. Hopefully you can understand how patient I've had to be thusfar, and now that my motor is in, I wait longer to put it in? no. It's going in today, and driving today.

Update later!!
Thanks guys. A lot.
Oh, btw, we just broke 12,000 views in this thread. :ph34r::)
 
don't open up the motor. If you open it and it later breaks KMS could blame you.
 
Someone please be so kind as to delete every post starting with #345.

Thank you very much, and I'm glad to hear he's gone. That was getting old...
 
Thanks for your time Formby.

I like my sig even more now, because of the story!
