Almost there!
Well, just did timing belt, waterpump, hoses, and balance shaft belts. Deleted the timing cover. Replaced the seals on the AOS. Had to pull the intake off to get at the left side bolt. Waiting for intake gaskets, Lindsey Racing breather, and reference sensors. When I get these items I should be back on the road 
Hope I did the belts right 
Bought an Arnnworx tool set and was pretty easy. Turned the crank around 2 full turns and cam gear marks lined up at TDC mark. Have oil leak at right rear of engine. Hope it is just the rear cam tower cover. A lot of oil though. Enough to drip down on my headers. Wife keeps asking when is the car going to be ready, so I must make extra time to work on it and get it going

Got car running today! Ended up putting a hole in the rad core and had to get that fixed. Now that I got everything back together, busted the stupid plastic rad drain plug inside the radiator. Anybody have an easy way to take the broken piece out? Unfortunately it is broke off deep inside the threads. Can I just plug it up with some epoxy or something?
