    Huge thanks to my good friend @yelcab for his infinitely gracious services. This is our second go for the engine out. (5 years go by quickly)

    Some findings.
    1) Driver cat is shot; one comes from another great source redbaycars.
    2) Replacing injector cables
    3) Crankshaft seal leaking - replaced
    4) Tripple shaft gasket leaking - replaced
    5) Shift linkage seal leaking - replaced
    6) Actuators seem to be in good shape
    7) Airconditioning compressor shot; got a new one from Eurospares on the way
    8) Replaced passenger side exhaust manifold
    9) Valve timing adjusted, new belt, the hill bearing tensioners
    10) Secondary air injection bolt shot (cross threaded) - going to fix that

    If you ever need a knowledgeable tech, reach out to @yelcab

    Got some Japanese branded Air Compressor from Eurospares; Mitchell thinks he's going to swap out the pully wheel as the new one has 6 teeth vs. the 4 on the OG. I thought the newer one was probably much more modern than the OEM; both same price, so what the hell. Got new injector cables from Kingsborne on recommendation and a big plug to Stefan at RedBayparts for the cat on its way- Stefan is a man to be trusted. I've done business with him for many years now. He is always a gentleman.

    How did you know cat was bad?

    You be careful splashing out all that money, your neibours know you are a spendthrift so they will think you are ill if you break into a $50 note.
