I lost my engine to hydrolock on 6-10-2001 because of the flooding that hit houston, and I forgot I had a CAI. For the last week I've pulled the old engine, and replaced it with a JDM SR20. I also followed the FSM to the letter and the car started on the 2nd try, it even idled pretty smooth. That was until I seen oil drip from the center console. Like a good monkey I didn't put enough pipe thread sealer on the oil psi gauge and it leaked in the center console and from the T at the engine. I was thinking of just using hose barbs and run a vaccum hose instead of that nylon tubing. Anyone else have any suggestions?

is there any way you can scan/type the directions out of the fsm and email them to me?? i am in the middle of a swap and i am confused as hell

Man I don't think that is possible because, there are so many pages that you have to flip between. Like the engien bolts and torque specs are in the EM chapter, then the vaccum lines are in the EF & EC chapter. Basically I was bouncing between 3-4 chapters at a time. My advice is to label every connector you have to remove, hell you don't have to know the name just number them. For example make a list or if you unpluged the MAF it could be labeled as 1. Then just put a label on the maf itself that says 1. That way you just connect them. Also besure to swap over the T-stat housing or your EGR hose won't fit, also you might have to bend the crankcase vent tube to fit your oil catch can. Swap over your sensors from the old engine too. Not to mention the intake manifold. If you don't have at least a haynes get one. I didn't use the haynes but it should help somewhat.
