Putting my engine back in..... doesn't hurt to ask

Hello yall,

My buddy (who's a mechanic) and I took my engine out (2tr fe) of my 05 five-speed, to get it rebuilt. He can no longer help me put it back in (it's done now)

Is there a comprehensive guide on putting it back in available somewhere?

OR

Is there a God-sent person whod be available for phone calls or guidance on this?

I'm not completely mechanically worthless (I've changed u-joints, cooling system, and ball joints by myself) But this seems a bit overwhelming to do by myself.

All the bolts and screws are in separate, labeled bags. I just wouldn't even know where to begin.

Thanks in advance

Where are you located? This is a big endeavor. There all the harness connections, belts, injectors, ac, ps. If you have never done it, I’d definitely recommend finding someone who has it’s a lot of work.

 

Ever get your motor back in?

 

Did you?

 

found a crack in the upper oil pan that n the junk yard motor, so had to get my original pan and get all the rod bearing debris out of it. Now that the motor is all sealed, just have to bolt on all the pulleys and such and hopefully Saturday it will be ready to drop in.

 

Great! I'm sure you're ready to have it rolling again.

 

Yup, prob do 3 oil changes within the first few hundred miles to get it up to par
