Saturday I cleaned the injectors. It fairly easy and really gets them cleaned. I replaced all the o-rings and on they went. Here is a video of how I did it on my MR2:

The engine is slowly coming together. All the parts are clean except the hoses nuts and bolts. I've been cleaning those by hand. I still manage to get my nice clean engine dirty. Oh well.
I hope to have the engine ready to go in next Saturday the 17th. Between then and now I've got to add all the little sensors vacuum lines and and replace the wire looms in the bell housing.

I found this part. What is it and where does it go?
Here are a few more images of it. I'm still trying to identify where some of the hoses go.
I'm still trying to find out if there is a gasket that should be here.

On post #83 I just get a rubber o-ring for it and put the bolts in.
As far as the water leak, ar you sure your heater hoses are hooked up? There is a plate on the back of the head. I think it has the possibility of leaking water. It is such a pain in the rear, I always put sealant and a gasket to make sure I dont have to try and get to it again, excpet to bolt the water pipe to it.

Did i forget some gasket seal or not torque something? I'd hate to have to pull the engine out again.

I'm going to be pulling the engine this weekend. Damn freeze plug.
Here are some electrical connections that I have not found where they plug into to. They are all on the drivers side.
Here are a few vacuum lines I'm having trouble finding where they should go.

I tried to start it up. I heard the starter try to turn for about half a second then it stopped. Then next couple of times I header it try to turn a little but nothing. The starter does have the power and ground wires attached. Any ideas?

I've done a bit of research on in and found several solutions including what you mentioned. As I was reading them I was thinking, I knew that why didn't I think of it.
Battery tested good so I'll throw it back in and tap the starter a bit with a hammer. Try rolling the truck a bit. If that doesn't work I'll clean and test the connections. If it still doesn't work I'll replace the starter with one from the pick an pull. If that still doesn't work I'll rebuild my starter.
