Our new rebuilt long block for the 2002 arrived. Looks like a quality rebuild w/ OEM seals, etc. Bought from a reputable West Coast shop, but always a little anxiety until you see it in the metal. Hope to have her on the road in a few weeks.

No core, so we get our old motor back and I am thinking of rebuilding that to a much higher spec.

Joe Gibbs Break In oil for the first 3k miles or so, followed by M1 15w-50. Hengst, Mann or Mahle filters.

Keeping the car stock for now, this is a very original driver. I may uprate the original engine over the next year or so.
