Part of it is nothing more than pride in work, but you both know this! I just wish others shared the same sentiment. While I was doing the job I found the following:
- Driver side radiator seal was missing (This is the rubber piece that connects to the fender and grill)
- Three of the metal hats that the valve cover bolts get inserted into (not sure what they're actually called) are missing and just had washers sitting on top of the rubber seal
- Plastic Cover on the wiring harness for the fuel rail is broken
- PCV elbows had been replaced, but both were the large orifice openings (one is supposed to be small, one large)
- Ground strap on the back of the engine was not connected and the nut was missing
I fixed the PCV elbows, radiator seal, and ground strap, but still have to source the:
- plastic cover for the injector harness
- three valve cover bolt hats (seen in the picture)
