Since almost all of the parts for the new engine that I ordered have come in, I have now begun to put the new engine back together. I attached the oil pump to the bottom part of the engine. Then I cleaned both cylinder heads and attached them to the engine on top of the head gaskets I also attached. I made sure the bolts were tight by torqueing them to the specified number. I have also put the push rods back in in the exact same order I took them out. Next I put the intake manifolds on and used silicone to put the intake manifold back on the engine. I also torqued those bolts to the specified number. I am getting closer to putting the engine back in the car. The only thing I have to do to the engine before I put it back in is to attach the oil pan gasket and oil pan.

There was no insulation under the old carpet in the car. Underneath the carpet, it was just the metal body of the car. Since I'm putting new carpet in anyways, I decided to install some sound and heat insulation. The type of insulation that I am using is called Dynamat. I have begun to lay this down inside the car. While I do this, I am also learning how to measure and properly cut the material. After I finish laying the main pieces, I have to go back and cut smaller pieces to fill in the small gaps. Although this is a lengthy process, I think it will pay off in the end since I will then have insulation in the car.
