Awesome build thread. Are you going with alpha N or map tune for your new airbox?

Rod bearings done. #2 upper showed the most wear, #5 upper a bit and everything else looked good. '04 with 78k, original bearings. I do have an oil analysis in progress just for fun.


Got the headers dropped and was in the midst of swapping out the CPV oring and it cross threaded going back in because of course it did. Thread was just barely marred, didnt have a die that size to clean it up so opted to just spend the $50 and get a replacement. Always something.



Still have the bottom end to put back together, euro headers to put on, get the subframe back up and then I'll drop the trans to get the bellhousing sent off for machining. When that's out, I can work on pulling O2 wires for euro sec 1...and lots more after that.
