Huh? If you don't take the studs out of the water pump, how are you going to fit the bolts in? Did you mean nuts instead of bolts??

Cleaned up the injectors. Replaced the filters. Clearcoated the metal sections and put on new o-rings.

Today I dropped the intake assembly off at the machine shop so they could clean it all out. I was just too lazy to do it myself. :) I received new filters for my 680's in the mail today, so I'll probably clean up the injectors and install the filters tonight. Ordered new spark plugs(Bosh super...

Quitter. just kidding....sort of. Hurry up and grab another. They ARE a diminishing species, after all.

LOL- agreed. I replaced mine, but it was a serious pain in my butt, and I had to replace one of the replacements because I gouged it so bad. I DID learn however, that it's a bit easier(but not much) to fit if you freeze the bearings for a while. Then you have to polish them to the right size...

The short cable? Mine was $16 from the dealership. And Speedometer Plus quoted me $40 for a new long cable, vs. oem $115+ Now if you meant the metal elbow, well yeah. Driftmotion sells them for $89.

Looking great. Did the painter use a flex additive for the urethane parts?

Powergrip hose clamps- neat. I was thinking of using them in a few spots.

Headbolt torque used? Does it run smoothly? I'm wondering if you're sure of your cam timing(not ignition).

The big black rounded sensor on the side of the throttle body, with the blue writing on it. See the empty socket, just begging for a plug? It's probably sitting out of sight, underneath it.

Well, Driftmotion has bolts as well, but they actually look just like the ones you purchased: http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-1jz2jz7mvalvecoverbolt.php Somebody else had a kit that included what looked to be beville washers with a rubber underside, but now I can't remember where I saw...

Ebay. And yes, I think Porsche uses them, among others.

Welcome to minutiae of my build. The truly exciting stuff... Almost done rebuilding my throttle body. For those just tuning in, I had torn one of the two throttle shaft seals when I took it apart. So I purchased another throttle body online in order to obtain exactly ONE throttle shaft seal...

What engine are you using?

Buy the upgraded valve cover fasteners from Driftmotion. They include replacement washers. Also, you have a stock manifold, not an FFIM.

I used to have flex-a-lite's on my car, and went back to stock. Do E fans work well? Yes. Better than stock? No. Did i get more power with E fans? No. Did i occasionally have a weak battery from the E fans running after shutdown? Yes. Did i overheat twice from failed E fan relays? Yes.

0vac at idle? 1. Verify that you have the CAM timing correct. This will affect everything. 2. Verify your#1 cylinder is at tdc, by removing the #1 spark plug, and placing something like a chopstick in there. Rotate the motor by turning the crank clockwise with a 19mm socket until your...

LOL. Just, lol.

Yes.

Verify that there is no water in the spark valley, and that the coils and wires are making good contact with the plugs.
