Sounds great! Did you put new rings on the pistons, or did you leave them inside of the block?

Old rings and pistons.

If you're running the old rings make sure to check your oil level periodically just to ensure that you're not experiencing any oil consumption.

Ok. one question. My timing belt side driveshaft wont go enough in. Or is this okay?

No, it needs to click in all the way. The transmission seal only works with axles that are pushed all the way in. Anything less, and your transmission will likely leak, and let in dirt.

So do i just need to hammer it on?
The other side clicked on very easy.

I had to tap mine in with a deadblow to an end of the CV joint. Don't want to damage the internals. Timing side is the long shaft right? if so that is the one I had to tap in, the other was easy.

Took a few good whacks, but once you hear the lock ring click, its in.

Was on a ST trannie, but I assume same concept.

Any way you could pull it out and take a pick of what the end looks like? May be damaged or something. Probably worth another opinion.
