Next up was prepping and cleaning up the engine.
I changed all the normal items while I had it out. Every sensor was replaced... knock, cps, temp, etc... New water pump, idler and tensioner pulley. Changed from the drive by wire to a cable system so it got a new Throttle body with new sensors. Deleted the manual fan.
Painted the trans as well while it was out.
Then the engine and trans were put back together.
