My desktop computer has been down for a little while, so I haven’t been able to upload any updated pics from the SRT build. There has been a little more progress though.

DCR Oil pump, cam gears, water pump, tensioner, and idler pulley reinstalled.

Eddie and I made our own cam tool for torquing the cam gears and dampener back down. I tried using a piece of 14GA angle stock and some regular bolts, but they bent really easily. This is made from part of a jack stand and some big grade 8 bolts.

Lastly, I blocked off the coolant lines for the now deleted oil cooler since I’ll be running a big filter kit.

All that’s left is putting on the timing belt and reinstalling the plastic covers, then the motor goes back in the car.
