Yo Yo Yo,
Whats up everyone long time no update huh? Sorry about that. I've been working my *** off so I haven't had a whole lot of time for much else. But, I have made some progress so I suppose I shall share. I finished the whole painting process that I took my sweet *** time with, and I gotta say it came out perfect. Wasn't easy and my patience ran very thin sometimes because I don't like watching paint dry, but I couldn't be happier. I was able to acquire the rest of the parts that I was missing and start putting the motor back together. And so far that's about it. I've taken soooo long to finish cleaning and painting everything I kinda forgot how some stuff goes back together or what bolts go to what so I'm trying to be careful not to screw it up. MAYBE IF I HAD SOME HELP *COUGH COUGH* ARBALIST, I would be further along right now. But its all good you don't really learn till you screw something up anyway right. So blah blah blah check it out:
Here's the painted valve covers with no clear coat and intake mani stripped.
Intake mani with a couple coats of paint no gloss. And yes I painted it attached to the motor but I did an extensive masking job so it turned out okay.
Couple coats of gloss
Wet sanded then polished to a mirror finish
Stock twin piping
New oil pump
And here is some of the remaining parts I needed:
Horsepower Freaks full face feramic clutch
SOrry for the fuzzy pictures on a couple of them. Its hard to tell if they came out clear or not before I get them on to my computer. But I think that is about all for now even though I feel like I'm forgetting something... Oh well if I remember I will be sure to post. Later!

Ya Ive been debating about what Im going to do about that. The one the motor came with is busted and makes the rest look like crap. I may just get some black cam gears and run no cover. But I dont really want to do that either. Do you know what kinda price hes asking?

@suprus: I'm in about the same place in my build I was just trying to avoid any painting on the engine but after seeing yours I may go do that. Have u finished your harness and what are you doin for a throttle cable?

As for the harness I dont know yet. I havent crossed that bridge yet and I'm still trying to come up with a better solution than cutting all the wires and soldering in new ones. Just not my style. Ill let you know if I figure out something brilliant (wouldnt count on it).
And I just bought a supra throttle cable from Toyota

Awesome bro its exciting right? I cant waiiittttt. But ya the painting process that I had to do was a long one. It was a lot of trial and error since it was my first time. The sanding and prep work was extensive and I dont even know how it is going to hold up in the long run yet. I used all high temp primer, paint, and clear coat so it should be okay but I guess we shall see.. If you decide to do that I can guide you along if you want. Honestly though if I was going to do it over again I would just have all the parts sandblasted then powdercoated. So simple. But I guess it depends on what you want the end product to like like and if you want to spend any money. Im broke most of the time so I decided to everything myself, but I ended up spending a good amount of money on sanding discs and paint and stuff anyway and it ended up taking weeks to finish.
