Checklist for my swap... help me out?
My friends and I are near complete with my FIRST engine swap, just wanted to go over what we did so anyone can point out if we've done something wrong... your help is appreciated.
Motor: B16A SiR complete from HMO
Car: 1992 Honda Civic Si
-Motor dropped and bolted into mounts, grounds reattached
-Stock Wiring Harness hooked up
-Knock sensor wire ran, not in ECU yet
-New radiator hoses double clamped to civic radiator
-5qts of oil, antifreeze, etc. waiting to go into the car
Tommorow we have to...
-Finish the knock sensor
-Hook up clutch lines
-Shiftlinkage
-put axles in, reattached hub, bolt down shock towers
I think thats about all the big stuff I can pull out the top of my head. We left off about a week ago after we dropped the motor in and hopefully I'll be finished tommorow. I'm just more worried about wiring because I really don't wanna see a CEL when I start the car for the first time. If theres anything any of you swap masters see here thats simple or that I've left out, please let me know! Thanks!

Drain about 3/4th of a quart out of the oil pan.The b16a only requires 4.25 quarts including the filter.
make sure to fill the tranny and radiator, other then that it looks good
