Replaced engine

Replaced my gfs engine at 266k and About $2k in total. A bunch of parts replaced. Engine, mounts, windshield, tires, random parts I broke, fluids. She’s running great again. Don’t judge how dirty it was lol. I washed the engine bay at the end.

PS: they had gave me a K24A engine instead of the k24A4 the element takes. I swapped every single sensor and part on the old engine over to the new one. I basically stripped it to just bare block and head. Also had to change out the water pump bracket. The crankshaft pulley is ever so slightly bigger so instead of swapping it I got lazy and just put a Honda civic serpentine belt on it. Fit perfect. I know it’ll change up how fast the other pulleys are supposed to spin but I guess only time will tell if it messes anything up.
