    Is it just me, or this a bit....er...cletus?

    Construction work doesn't get much in the way of torque applied to it.... Were they heat treated? What filler did he use? How is the adjacent steel affected by the heat from the "penetration welding"? Seriously I'm not slamming you Poodles but this is why people SHOULDN'T do this...

    main bearing clearance

    This is why you don't use AU green coolant in your 7M

    I'm going to try the Zyrex in the new engine unless I can find some data that countraindicates it for an Al/Al engine. The Toyota Red is damn expensive here.
