Plus they measured te pistons etc, and saved me from a noisy motor when they realized the clearnce was too large piston-cylinder. 98 E0 SVT with some stuff

I still need to cut the bushing and grind the alt tab. Wed the main seal and new mount should arrive...then goes the flywheel/clutch and tranny and into the car they go!!! 98 E0 SVT with some stuff
