    Nice find, the guy didn't know what was in the engine?  Also what's the purpose of the grooves above the rings on the pistons?

          Just scored a full 3" Stainless catback exhaust for an unreasonably low price!

          Today's winner is me!

            Small update, got spark working on megasquirt after realizing that I never plugged in the motor to body harness connector  <<

            Have some pipes with a friend to get bungs and fittings welded into them for my sensors and ICV and BOV. 

            Got the 3" stainless exhaust, came with a 4.5" exhaust tip! I had planned on running that this year yet but I decided to just turn an elbow out of the turbo and run the exhaust right out of the hood, screw trying to make a full exhaust work for a few days! 

            Got the e36 M driveshaft in, quite a bit larger than the e30 driveshaft. And the input seal on the diff leaks.... magical. Looks like that will just slowly drip until I feel like taking the damn thing out again.

            All is well, things are progressing, slowly but I am still planning on getting it broken in before snow.

                Know whats cool? When you get your oil in, then start pouring in coolant and find that it is flowing out of the front timing cover! F*ck 

                Everything was ready to go, and then that happened. Tried to crank it to make sure it had rpm signal, didn't have that either so I guess it will be awhile again.

                There went the though of getting it out before winter...

                      Your last update has me confused. Did you add the oil and then coolant, only to find oil pouring out of the timing cover? Or was it coolant pouring out, or both?

                            water pump mounts to the cover.

                              But wouldn't it be leaking down the cover? Nothing should leak out of the cover unless a gasket was missed.

                                Gasket must have been compromised. The diagram makes sense if you see it lol.

                                    Coolant is leaking right near pin 3, and yes I did check to make sure the pin was seated.

                                      Not to ask stupid questions, but did you use any sealant on the gasket?

                                        The cover was never removed as it came out of a running car. When the water pump was pulled (with the help of a slide hammer) it may have comprimised the gasket seal in that area.
