So quick update. I got down to SC yesterday afternoon and promptly went down town and drank. So this morning I go out to work on the car. I get it off the ground and start pulling off intercooler piping so that I have more room to work with. Then thunder, lightning, and rain. FML
Also does anyone know what size allen wrench is for the bolt in the oil pump?
7/32 just spins and 1/4 wont fit in.

If you want to prime the oil pump via the allen plug under the alternator...
Pour oil in, wait for bubbles to stop coming up, put plug back in without tightening very much, spin starter with plugs out and cam sensor disconnected so the injectors and coils won't fire. Have assistant watch/listen for oil under oil filler cap. Then redo plug with some sealant and cinch down. Re-test prime before putting alternator and plugs back in lol.

Why is using the starter a bad idea?
