The guys at RT Tuning have found the problem. One of the connecting rod caps was bent by .0024" and put too much pressure on the crank so it couldn't turn fast enough to start. So the motor came out again:



Good thing the whole front end comes off with 4 bolts.

Here's the problem:



So the motor is torn down again. The crank is back at the machine shop. When the new bearings get here, the motor will get put back together and go back in the car. And then it WILL START (capitalized for optimism).

Once it's running RT Tuning will do the alignment and we should be good to go.
