Hey guys. So I've been getting a few messages in regard to whats to be done and the difficulty with swapping the engine properly. So I'm gonna answer here to the best of my memory:
Its really cut and dry, the only thing was I had to use the cam gears which I think needs the E16 or E12 torx socket, crank trigger wheel and all the sensors (Fuel pressure, coolant temp, crank sensor etc.) from the 13'. Apologies, but I don't have that info for the correct torx size right now because all my tools are in storage. I ended up purchasing a torx kit from O'Rielly's. Also had to keep the alternator and A/C compressor from the 13.
The only sensors I kept from the 2017 were the cam position sensors since they are more accurate. Being that you have to take the cam gears off, putting the timing chain back on was a bit of a hassle. But, as long as you do it right there is no worries. Lastly, I left my transmission mounted in the car so getting the engine back in was a little annoying because you have to get the alignment of the engine right along with the clutch and the transmission teeth. It was time consuming, about 16 - 20 hours working slow with hand tools, but I'd give it a 4 out of 10 difficutly.
