I have the flywheel stopper that bolts into the tranny bolt holes. You can use it.

Got some goodies in today, Aeromotive 340 Stealth fuel pump, AEM TruBoost, Overhaul Kit w/o Apex. The ALS seals won't be here until the 1st of next month :(. But in the mean time I'm going to tear down the engine, inspect and clean everything also start installing all the gauges, fuel pump and fuel lines.

I want to know how that pump turns out. Since it's new on the market I want to see what it does for others first haha.

Well got the engine torn apart today. All the seals were there and intact, the only thing I notice was a chipped corner seal. Everything went smooth, Im now in the process of cleaning the rotors, housings, irons etc.

Oh you already cleaned them up? I was saying everything looked pretty damn clean before you broke it down.

So no obvious sign of why the motor died yet?

Everything looked fine exept the lil chip on the corner seal. So im going to have a pair of housings for sale pretty soon. They both look good.
