lol u ever removed a crusted on hose buddy? thats all i will say to ur comment, ive replaced over 20 engines in my garage alone, i just put this engine in the car about 3 weeks ago, after removing the b16 myself, which i put in myself about 3 years ago, and i will also put the zc in myself in about 2 days, and as for the problems i ran into they were due to my cockiness in pulling the engines because i wanted to do it quickly. NOW Have U ever pulled an engine? If so please let me know.
