The rebuild came out okay...I have 3K miles on the engine with no problems so far. I do have a leak in the CPS that I will try to fix by replacing it with a used one I bought from Ebay.
I run a 50 trim upgraded turbo with ceramic turbine, Lexus AFM with 550 FI with MKIV FP.

For those that are interested, I will be at HPDE 1 on June 19th Hyperfest at Summit Point WV.

Regards,
P.S. I hope I did the image posting properly.:icon_surp

looks like a good build, do you have pictures of your car?

i hope that copper spray you used was not on a new mhg
