I used VHT caliper paint I think. They were new, so I cleaned the shit out of them with paint prep cleaner and denatured alcohol, then taped off the machined surfaces. So far so good, tho they're very shielded by steel wheels currently.

Drifted down my driveway to bump start it and now it starts just fine.

Will do. I'm a big fan of percussive maintenance, especially after forgetting to connect that hose on the back of the intake after reattaching EVERYTHING. With help, and the bolts out of the manifold, I managed to get it on from underneath. Note to anyone doing injectors: Remove that fuel rail...

Just did new injectors and the car won't crank at all (same as when you don't push in the clutch.) What did I miss/screw up?

I'm tired of ordering "915" pads only to find out there's 561619149 different parts under that same part number, most of which are just mixed up Volvo pads with wear sensors or the wrong backing plate. Now, thanks to www.niparts.com (I found it accidentally and man is it fun to play with,) and...

Try stock heat range plugs?
