Funny you mention that... I wanted a recaro baby seat when my son was on his way... They really aren't that much compared to others, but there is no US distributor for the baby seats, so once you add shipping it became a $600 venture, and then in the terrible incident we did get in a crash I wouldn't put it past insurance companies to not cover him since the car seat wasn't tested to US standards... Even though the testing they do on the other side of the pond is the same or sometimes greater.
Tried firing up the new motor, but had a random backfire that clearly wasn't good.
Changed the plugs and wires; did not help.
Pulled the injectors and sent out for service:
Somehow I have some major cr*p in there! Pulled the fuel filter and cleaned that as well.
Was also told one of the injectors plugs was damaged:
Maybe I've been on 7 cylinders this whole time??

These are microscope images of the inside of my fuel injectors. Somehow sand/junk has gotten inside them. I don't know if its from the fuel rail, or the filter being plugged and passing through it (??) but I need to clean out my entire fuel system before I get the injectors put back in.
Let the fuel pump pump it out into a clean white pail, Blow the fuel rails out with air, use the coffee filter/funnel method to determine if you have more of a problem, you might had just had junkyard presents in the old tank or rails from previous.
If you get more out of the lines, then your secondary filter is not up to the task.
Did you change the rails or lines with the new engine? What are you using for a filter?
