I am starting to see the light. Went to the shop today. Tested the S2 motor to see how healthy it was. To my shock - amazingly healthy. 165-175 for compression numbers and the leakdown on the cylinders were all within spec. AMAZING for a 147K motor. Wow.
Then I sold it.
J3 has the new torque tube in place. They even painted it for me! As for my old one, I was dead on. The forward bearing are very noisy and definitely shot. Good call on my part by replacing it.
Here are more photos from today:
Seats are in.
Torque Tube - Oooo...pretty.
Bushings are in:

B-A-D A-S-S. Please keep updating this thread - awesome. I'm catching up ALL the "deferred maintenance" on a tired 100K S2, and every time I start feeling tired of it I come searching for your thread - very inspirational! My car may not ever be a dedicated track car, but it's fun to watch your project and see what could be. Thanks!
