Default Small update

Got my gasket kit, oil pickup and lower oil pan all shiny and new. Just waiting to pick up the upper oil pan, pistons, manifold and lower runner. Pics for all below. Also, the toyo tool makes things so easy its redonkulous. I can believe I ever considered any thing else. Works perfect. Spark plug cover turned out nice too. Next are valve covers courtesy of Ohrli over at supraforums. Chrommmmmmmme......

Default Update 28 Nov

Update with pics to follow. Got the piston rings on and the pistons in. Upper oil pan, baffle and pickup are on. Gotta get another tube of FIPG today to put the lower oil pan on.

Waiting on the head to get back from the machine shop. Progressing nicely.

For anyone who's replace the rear main seal...it is tough to get out. Fits nicely, but a real pain. Enjoy.

Crank greased and ready for rods



Piston ring buffet



Rod endcaps on!
