Default FB: Engine is out

I may have made a minor mistake leaving my flywheel home someplace in the garage in a brake rotor box. I was even obsessing over having AEB flywheel bolts at work... of which I have two dozen but only need six.

I got in at 9:15 and by 1pm the engine was out. I blew up a bit when I could not find my flywheel, the good people I work with just sorta ignore me when I do that.

I'm still at work right now.

Some pics...

First thing this morning I pushed the car into the bay myself.

Default You should fix the old engine and put the new one in your living room.

It's too purty to install it. ;-)

Wow, I didn't realize you were swapping out a V6.

Default Yeah. But as many say, technology > displacement.

Of course, when you combine both...its wicked fast. Kinda like a Bugatti Veyron, no?
