Thanks again Das! So up to 01 I'll be looking for. I've done alot of timing belts and a few on this style engine so I'm familiar with that part. What's the reason for removing the intake and exhaust manifolds if there's enough room to get it out with them still attached? I mean, I'm gonna undo them since you say it needs to be done, but I'm just curious why? Thanks for the link too Das. I'm alittle more relaxed today so I'm gonna at this car full steam ahead!! I have a guy that will sell me a complete engine and transmission for $150 ... from another 96. He owns a scrap yard nearby and I know him well, so he gave me a deal on that I think.
