This has been boxed the entire time, putting the Fans and Rad together and having them ready to install made me suddenly conscious of how close I am to being back in business!
Yes the old setup is back on, kind of depressing but it's a necessary evil. I want this clutch to be broken in...
Well time for another update, a crap ton has been done, starting with the fluidamper.
Dropped her in yesterday! Feels good man.
It's TIAL time! (This thing has been waiting to go on for months... I guess just stopped being lazy, ordering the lazy quick adapter, instead of welding...

Sorry I cut that short, my little brother is home from the Air Force so I had to wrap that post up, now that I have time here's a second pic *panned to the right, so close which is the only reason I kept the same Mani. Agreed with the damper luckiness btw, and these projects breaking budgets...

Here's the cams after my superb polishing and paint! really set her off!!! lol
After loosing sleep using the same flywheel bolts like a complete idiot in a hurry to get things done, I nyquilled that shit! These took forever to get here, stuck in PA for some reason for a week!? Anyways, resting easier now.
Polishing the crap out of her, runners took 3 days easy! I...
