Very cool! They had my records as well.

Very nice Matt. Turn those non droppers around! The crossed flags go on the passenger side. I know it's easier to put oil in, but I believe the cut outs on the valve covers around the intake only line up one way. After all, it is the next Z off the line after mine! Lol

I noticed that after I installed them. That's what I get for being in a hurry. Engine has to come out soon anyway so I'll take care of it then.

Just an update. Back in September, I pulled the engine because it was smoking above 3500 rpm and there was oil pumping out of everywhere. This is ok because the car did this when I bought it so I knew the engine had to come out eventually.

This ended up being (one of) my problems.

I feel bad because my wife's been bugging me to get it finished up but I've been collecting parts (thanks to some of the members here) and getting another engine together to put into the car.

Good stuff Matt. A little more cleaning under hood and she'll be in good shape.

Nice seeing you @ Carlisle...

Classic sign of detonation.

So what are the plans for the new motor? Looking forward to some Day 2 fun!

I finally thrashed on this for a whole day and got it done. I think is sounds pretty tough.
