New Gaskets (Rocket Cover, Intake Manifold, Fuel injectors, Oil Pan Etc)
Still waiting for shipment from local parts store......

Removed EGR and EGR Pipe line.
Isn't too bad to do this job on the Japan models as you don't have the Break Booster right there in your face. Makes getting to a few of the bolts abit easier IMO.
Both were blocked off with custom made blocking plates. and EGR Pipe line to the side of the motor I had used bolts from the Pair System to mount the blocking plates.

New Dizzy O-Ring installed
Yes I did spin the engine over another again to get it to TDC

Remove all Vacuum lines and what not under Intake Manifold.
This includes ALL VSV modules under the Intake.

Removed EVAP Tank.
The line is currently just pointing to the ground for now.

Remove Pair System
Was quite easy to remove just plug one hose, Remove everything else.

New O2 Sensors.
These had to get replaced as were throwing codes, Of course the parts store sold me a set that was meant to "fit" but resistance specs were almost Double FSM!!

Anyway getting another set swapped in should be easy!
Will be placed on the exhaust where the pair system was removed!
Below you can see how much the ECU were liking them

EGR, EGR Pipe, Pair, VSV Modules Removed.
New Dizzy O-ring, O2 Sensors, and New gaskets!
All installed.
Custom EGR Block off Plates.
Vacuum lines either looped together or have a ball bearing in them to stop leaks.
Tomorrow Need to fill with coolant, Re-Install Battery and should be ready for a start!

Photos before show a bit of what happened.
