Cam Swap - Day 6 - Update
Yes, another update for everyone. Yay!
The car is 98% back together. I just need to put the alternator in, a couple of hoses, and put all the fluids back in her. I am stopping for the night because the GF and I are going out to see Resident Evil. Otherwise, the car would have been running tonight, hopefully
Things broke but still need fixing:
Two hoses that go into the throttle body. I don't know what they do, but one of them goes to the idle air control canister. Anyone know if thats important? Can I drive it to the nearest orilley's or something and buy the new part there?
Anyways, This car should be running tomorrow, exactly 1 week after I started the swap.

Its going to collapse? The old spring in the hose was corroded to hell. So, do I need to put a new spring in it? Or just buy a new hose... DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT.
