Looking good! You and Boosty are going to start make me wanting to tear down my motor for hte heck of it.
Good work!!

I'm officially done under the car with respect to the motor running and the car driving. I'll be back under there again later for some suspension upgrades.

The dents on the pan aren't anywhere near the oil pickup. And my windage tray is welded in place. Knocking dents out isn't possible.
There are 4 gauges total. Some aren't here yet. 2 replacements, two new. Just picked up a package with some suspension parts from ZiLLA Motorsports East, too.

You will be fine without that piston I think, might cause a lil KR though down the road.
I dont even wanna KNOW what that rear o2 bung is for on a car with no freaking REAR o2, and..that REAR o2 sensor you have sittin there
Odd.
