So, when's this swap going to take place? Any weekend coming up I'm free. I'm sure with you, me, Scott and Andrew we can do this in an afternoon.

BTW - You know I gotta say this, you should have bought a SHO :thumb:

Oh wow I never knew any probes came with stock stripes. I still admit to disliking them, though it's cool how they incorporated the 24v DOHC in the back, I like that :thumb:

For now we just need to get it running. I keeps tearing timing belts which is why he got a good deal on it. We're thinking it's just a bad tensioner. If that doesn't go well we are just going to swap over the good motor from his previous Probe, now a donor car.

so i fixed up the spark plug wires today cause they were driving me crazy. The guy i bought it from had the wires completly ass backwards. LOL

456
123 is the firing order he had instead of

135
246

so new timing belt today should show if we need to swap the engine or not. im hoping not just so i can get this on the road quick and it has less miles

make sure it has all necessary components. i know on the sho motor if you dont put the washer back on the front of the timing belt it will eat right through the cover.

Sorry we couldn't get it running. Funny how it jumped timing though. I suggest buying a new tensioner or just say screw it and yank the old one from the other car.
