I got my fuel pump rewire kit installed yesterday and finished assembling my short block. Now I just need to get a long block gasket kit, oil pump/front case, headstuds, headgasket, and all new t-belt components and that should take care of my long block. Then I will still have things to get like the turbo, exhaust, clutch, etc. Although I think I may just put a lot of the old stock parts back on just for the fact that I need to get this thing back together quick and cheap. But at least I'll have a good motor to start modding.

The short block is all stock with arp main studs and new piston rings.

	I may have missed it but is your longblock just a 6-bolt rebuild using all stock components with a few exceptions for studs etc?

	Pistons are labeled backwards, #1 is always at the timing belt side! I guess that's how you count =)

How many miles? How was it being driven? How good was your tune?

Isn't bearing damage usually from bad oiling or improper wear from installing it wrong?
