haha engine bay is definately a slow process, no need to rush it...works out so much better in the end if its a slow but constant build!

I agree.. I'm getting all the parts that's available to me at the moment so figured to get the most obvious parts of the motor done then get every thing else down the road... Most importantly getting that timing cover in bc that's one of the hardest things to put in yet alone uninstalling it and getting polished. I feel really lucky to find these parts already polished at an Awsome price... So Vivek keep the parts coming if you you have them!!!!
