Got the engine back in a a couple of hours one afternoon last week. It's been taking longer reconnecting everything! Lots of crawling underneath the van, which I haven't had to do in a while, with the engine out and everything. I' hoping to start it up again in the next week or so. Been running around the shops for different small parts -- brake fitting adapters, hose to bypass the heater, and taps and dies to clean up threads. The threads on the steering tie rod are damaged -- hoping that it's easily fixed.

I've also noticed the crank pulley has a rust hole in it. I haven't been able to source a replacement yet. Should it be the same part on the 220D/240D? No AC so only one groove.
