I have a gear, but no aluminum piece.

Aluminum piece should be universal to the 88...with long or short gear...right?

The 88 oil seal retainer should be the same as any other 88 and earlier seal retainer.
Took apart the original good GTP engine so I can get forged pistons in it.

Took it all to the machine shop yesterday to get bored 20 over and add the forged pistons to the rods.
And have it all balanced.
Started to take the back of my car apart again to pull the engine.

Got the engine/trans out again today. Took the pan off to see what the issue was.
Want to see what was making the noise before installing the other engine.
(machine shop said it was done and I can pick it up Monday)
Rod noise right? Maybe not. The rod was not loose and bearings not bad.
What I did find was the clips on the pins that go inside the pistons...were not there.
No clips on any of the pins. Could this make a rod-like noise?

Okay, the machine shop guy said these are press fit pins and no clips were needed, so that was not the issue.

The original engine has been bored out 20 and new forged pistons added.
Crank polished. New bearings.
All balanced!
It has a forged crank I discovered.
Clutch is on, the trans is attached. Ready to put it back into the car tomorrow.

Took the crank and rods/pistons to the machine shop to have him inspect them.
Will find out in the next couple days.
