Mounting the heat exchangers to the head.

Front wheel bearings

Packing the CV joints

My least favorite this morning is replacing the CHT. It's damn near impossible to reach behind the intake manifold through the little hole and thread the sucker into the hole in the head. Frustrating as hell. I know it can be done but, cause I've done it before. It's almost easier to drop the engine and then do it. No one say "Ah, patience Grasshoppa" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)
