I drove my car home tonight.
what the fuck I am a retard.
If you guys ever buy AEM cam gears, follow the directions and use the provided allen head bolts for your cams. If you don't, and torque down your cam gears, they'll start grinding on the stock bolts until you wear grooves right through them and jump your timing belt off so that your crank and your cams are way out of sync.
Anyway, after a lot of coaxing we managed to get the car to start, idle, and drive around. I've got a CEL throwing a code 22 (water sensor), I think I haven't hooked that up properly. This JDM block has a lot of different shit on it.
I must also have tons of vacuum leaks, at idle I'm at -15 Hhmg or whatever, instead of the usual -20. No fucking clue where to even start with this one.
I'm still happy though, my car has been down for a month
