Engine is in, mechanicals connected, waiting on harness & cooling connections. It's going slow: this is the installer's first one and he's trying to get all his mechanics involved. I'm getting charged a flat rate for the install so I don't want them to rush. Two items of interest: one, they have to trim (15mm) off or change the mainshaft in the transmission so it's a commitment to the change; and two, they had to do some testing on the engine. They claim that Eurospec got a couple of bad ones in this last shipment (yikes!!!!). Hopefully I'll have it back by the end of the coming week.
