I would have patiently waited for an F22c, it's such an upgrade in every conceivable way possible. So what that you give up 400rpm.

 

@Slowcrash_101 I wanted to but I didn't know what you would need to do an AP2 swap. But I'm happy with the swap, I got this engine on a good deal and low miles too. I was trying to keep everything AP1 originality.

Good stuff worth waiting for

 

Thanks, for the happy reply! Glad it worked out.

 

 

lol.

one is 9K. the other is not.

 

@Langelo DeMysterioso It didn't take 2 years lol. The reply did tho lol. The swap was done a month after the mishap. But it did took me a whole month to find this engine.

 

Very happy with the car, best car I've ever own. I'm in the process of updating some maintenance stuff. Just did the Brakes (Pads and Rotors), Spark Plugs, and Coil packs. Next week, I'm repainting the Valve Cover. A friend of mine is doing it for $50 (Cheap). And also going to get a Billman TCT. I replace the oem with Ballade 10k miles ago but after hearing all the problem Ballade could potentially have, it makes cringe every time I think about it.

 

Be careful on the valve cover paint job. Do not, under any circumstances, blast the old paint of with any kind of media. All kinds of horror stories abound with that stuff (which is impossible to remove) getting into the oil and screwing up the engine.

 

He told he was going to sandblast the cover than paint it after (with it off the engine of course). He did a lot of them that way. I'm guessing don't do that?
