Need help putting engine back together

[Jebus]

Another thing if you have an engine out of the car, make sure you have good oil pressure before you start it. Of course, when you build the engine you must prime the oil pump when you assemble it, but once its back together, i used a drill, with an old drive wheel in it, and used the cam belt to hook it up to the oil pump. I put an oil pressure gauge where the oil switch, or sensor is, and cranked it up. Dont do it for too long as the pump is working hard, and you only need about 500rpm to see a good amount of preassure in the gauge. You really dont want the head to run dry for any period of time, the cams and head cop a massive battering in split seconds, the last thing you want after a full rebuild.

One more thing. Loop an oil cooler line. Or you wont get any pressure and end up with oil all over you.

What do you mean loop the oil cooler line? I cant just put them back to where they were?

Well I got finally got the block back and I had it bored .020" over so Im now waiting on some pistons and rings that I ordered and should be here one of these days. I bought a whole gasket kit for the engine and I noticed now when im putting it back together that some important gaskets are missing I guess ill have to cit my own then. The exhaust gaskets, the ones from the exhaust manifold to the turbo and the turbo to the turbo elbow, are reusable right?
Also the gasket for the oil return line on the turbo is not in the kit.

I will be getting some more updated pics up on the website of the engine rebuild soon... so check and tell me what you think when I do get them up...
