Hey guys. Well after killing my 250k t5 engine ive talked to nick at re-volv and am probably going to pick up an rn motor out of a 2001 s60 t5 that will be dropped into my 98 s70 t5m. I have an r clutch and tob that will go in while the motor is out. After some searching, ive found that the front motor mount will be different (nick will supply the correct one)
Ive also found that i should use the newer thermostat housing? And have also seen multiple people have to drill out the cams to accomodate forthe blanking plates behind the distributor and cam sensor. Is this true? Have also seen people say you need to install a rear cam seal on the intake aswell.
Would just like to know anything i might need before i go balls deep. This is my first engine swap, im only 18, but i want to learn, and have a haynes manual on my side. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
