sent my top end to TX
 
well yesterday i took my whole top end off the intake manifold exhaust, and finaly the head. and i sent it down to GTP in houston TX they are real nice and giving me lots of info. well it took about six hours to take the engine down to the pistons. and a few cuts, and a little bit of sweat :) but not all that hard really if you have the manual from the dealer. any advice on putting her back together. thats what i am worried about. O yeah does anyone know the difference in the j-spec cam shafts as to EX or IN cause i cant remember and they both say IN but that is normal. one has pink and blue stripe on it???????? im sure thats the intake, but just in case :)

My exhaust cam had a green dot on it, that was the ONLY way to tell them apart besides getting some really accurate measurements.

What broke? And are you going to continue to run the stock ECU with the factory CAT? Just curious.
