Engine coming out

I got rear ended and the motor is coming out. Any preventative stuff I should do while the engine is out? I'm getting the cooling pipes done. What else should I do?

Who in NOVA is doing the work, just curious as I'm local too. There's a few threads on preventative maintenance when the engine comes out you might want to search for as they're pretty extensive. Water pipes for sure and lots of rubber along with the coolant tank as I recall are a good start!

Proefi, turbos, rods, lifters, head studs, pistons, 4.0 block, clutch, meth, shafts, coil overs, lca bushings, and gt2rs intercoolers. That should do for now.

I love it! You write the check and I'm all over it!

The work is being done by Spectrum Collision Center off 4 Mile Run. They do superb work.

I will add the water pump.

The only visible damage was to the bumper skin and exhaust. But a bunch of crap got cracked or broken underneath.

996Twins that was exactly what I was after! Thanks for doing the hard work and making the list.

No bad karma at all. I'm getting a bunch of nice upgrades. Go back to your sour grapes and negative karma.

Thanks for asking Twins!
I get it tomorrow or monday. She needs an alignment and a few other little details finished up. I'm super excited to get her back. She will be a new car maintenance wise. I have not had a chance to data log it after adding an intake and injectors. So I will need to update the tune. But Markski will make that the easiest part of this project.
Once I get her back I will post a few pictures
