Thanks, ya bastard greedy.

I would prefer to own 100% of it too, but it simply wasn't feasbile, both financially and from a labor standpoint. I am actually the "project manager" if there was one, and have done 80% by myself. I will likely be one of two drivers as well, both from a skill perspective, and time invested.

Thanks for all the compliments, and be sure to check out my website when you get a chance.

Ba Humbug. I thought about beadblasting and painting the springs, and my teammates were pushing for it heavily, but even I have my limits with respect to anal retentiveness. Kinda the same thought process for my painting over the pretty SPL aluminum subframe bushings when I repainted the subframe: too much work to simply impress people with a color scheme.

Most of the smaller gaskets in the Phase2 "complete gasket set":


Shortblock assembled:


The head after rework:


The rear cover after a new rear main seal was installed:


The upper (aluminum) oil pan ready to go on, with Gray RTV:


The upper oil pan being installed:


The timing chain and guides installed:


Water pump, baffle plate, and front cover installed:


If you'll notice, I put the upper oil pan on before the front cover, which was a mistake. IIRC, the front cover has two dowels that fit into the upper oil pan. I ended up having to pull the oil pan off, re-applying the RTV Gray, and putting it back on after the front cover was on. So take a lesson from me: put the front cover on first!

Sorry to keep you waiting. In case you didn't know, I have done this work and had these pictures for some time now, but never selected them, uploaded, added them to the thread, etc. By my last count, I probably have 1500 - 2000 pictures of my project, and have weeded that number down to 10% to post on forums.

Thanks for the compliment. I will have more pictures up soon, and will eventually get to the point that I can upload them on Sunday night after working on the car over the weekend.

Installing the braided stainless line to relocate the GReddy Warning oil pressure sender:

I was impressed how complete the kit was. It even includes teflon tape and a trick annodized 2-piece bracket to remote mount the sender, as vibration tends to prematurely kill it.

The stock catch can after beadblasting:


The GReddy gauge:

BTW, 1 kg/cm^2 = 14.225 psi

The left and right radiator supports after beadblasting and painting:
