Well. On June 26th, I continued to reassemble my engine. I started to put it together until it got dark. So I had to wait 'til the next day.

I started by putting the wire covers over the wiring harness and getting all the fuel injectors hooked up.

As you can see, Taz wanted to help out a little bit.

I try to get the air intake chamber installed. It was a little tough, especially when it came hooking up the water bypass hose and the EGR valve. But I managed to get it on there.

Taz really wants to help now.

After I finally get the air intake chamber bolted in, I get the throttle body all bolted up and then I start attaching some vacuum lines.

Then, for now, I lay the valve cover in to see how it's going to look. Then I start connecting MORE vacuum lines, cover more wires, and stuff like that. Then bolt down the valve cover and get my power steering pump bolted back in place.

Well, looks like Ozzy wants to help out too.

I ended up finishing the reassembly on June 27, 2004. After I got it back together, I filled it up with coolant, checked the connections, and made sure it was ready to start. Then all I did was turn the key, let it crank and it sprang to life. For a while anyway. It stalled about 3 seconds later. I don't blame it for being a tad bit grumpy after sitting since October of 2003.
