Glad to see it coming back together. What was the issue that caused the delay? I ask because my bottom end is on a plane right now and will be going together soon and any info to avoid potential problems would be much appreciated. Thanks ,Kevin

Kevin,
He had made some changes to the head seal but they didn't work out so he went back to the original design. He also finessed my GT3 cam synchs to have them align better. Nothing that can really help you out, bro.

Hey I got the same bar on my car. I'm getting a custom removable cross-bar for a harness/camera. Do you want me to PM you pics of the removable cross-bar once I get it?

GREAT news Scott!!!
I am the least knowledgeable of anyone on this issue, but given the HP goal I suspect you are shooting for, I would think o-ringing would be beneficial even for "relatively low boost." You have gone to great lengths to make your engine as strong and durable as possible. Consistent with these lengths, and while you have the engine apart, o-ringing would seem the prudent course. It certainly can't hurt. Take it from me . . . you don't want to do it after the fact!!!

Absolutely. That sounds like something I'd definitely be interested in. Thanks.
