2000.5 who knows....
Skip, he said he'd be there by 2pmish...Hopefully my guy Mike can do it quick but if not I won't cry....
I haven't gone back yet to see it with the header off, I figured I'd see it tomorrow. I'll be sure to take new pics... I'm just excited

And Warren, there are more than a couple of AP1's like what J's is going to be.
FWIW, Inline stated that they require new oil pumps be installed with their new motors to rule out possible oil contamination and the resulting damage.

Holy hell! All that damage from an oil pump.
I'm glad your new motor's on its way, SJ. I'm surprised you're staying with the original ECU though. Will the original ECU have to be changed over somehow?

Yes, but what caused the oil pump to fail? That's what I want to know. Was it high mileage (though 100k on a Honda engine isn't high mileage), high revving, a design flaw in the pump, something else?
Anyone else know about oil pump failures on an S?

I don't think you can use an AP1 ECU on an AP2, the fuel mapping, ignition timing and such will be off won't it?

yup, you can. I think actually Steve (tenblade) did it. You just need to cut a new key.

I wasn't low on oil for sure... Probably just went bad. Funny enough it was the first time I used synthetic too... 
I will be getting alot of new parts that come with the new engine lucky me...From what I've heard you just hook it up and there's nothing else to do with the ECU. I was told power cute out around 8300k anyway .. so no need to worry about a higher redline. I've done my research and talked to alot of people with experience and I trust them.
We will see how it goes.
