Car is not for sale or being parted out (at least not yet
)
Early morning... how I felt
I drain all the oil and coolant from the car before I did anything. Checked for mixture (looks ok I guess) and coolant was good. I made some minor changes with some vac lines. Bought new MAP sensor and installed that. MS getting a much better reading with the new MAP now.
Got it started and NO NOISE. I checked everything over and was still running super rich. I pulled the filter off the turbo and realized that it wasn't spinning. If you look at the previous pics, the oil feed line basically has a 90* kink in it... which I think is starving the turbo of oil.
I pulled it off and got it all spinning again. Was wedged good. No play or anything.
Installed back on... started it, and same issue. Locked right back up. So I'm going to get a new fitting so it feed line fits better. Hope that's the problem.

VTEC!
Also got the bed plate off old block and it's all good. So the old motor spun a rod bearing and blew a headgasket. RIP old 420a. Will be listed on Craigslist soon.
