just looked at it for a while...
feels good to admire something you built from the ground up and drive it.

+1 coulpe of turns on the cam cover bolts should help.

Removed the flywheel, exhaust manifold and some other accessories.

Turns out a 600nm rattle gun can remove just about anything :P

Turns out the rear cam gasket is not leaking... it is the head gasket, so I went ahead and ordered the gasket, cam gasket, head bolts and washers, and the oil pump ring that goes around the crank. I already have the seal just needed the ring/gear. I also have a spare rear cam gasket. Can't wait for it all to come in and get rid of all the leaks I have till something else breaks

Today, I did my winter polish/wax... This car still has original paint, but I think that's gonna have to change soon... years of track use have really taken their toll

Oh yeahhhh haha.. actual housing sizes are pretty similar, turbines a bit bigger, compressor is a good bit bigger, but it looks like I can use the factory oil return/mount. Pretty stoked to really get this project rolling.

Got backed into at a Jack in the Box parking lot.... Lady didn't even look... I was at the point backing up that if I kept going she would have hit my side. So I decided to honk my horn to hopefully get her to stop since I was already half way out. But nope she kept going, I did get it in first and moved forward but it wasn't enough... She broke my license plate frame/plate light. She mainly hit the rubber padding. Her new Lexus on the other hand had a nice dent with a broken reflector. I decided to just let it go. Should have seen the look of relief on her face.

Installed A single hood shock today.. thank god for snap-on's super-grippy gloves.

Also installed missing copper washers on the IC pipe and intake manifold fittings. Along with taking the battery off the charger and stuffing it back in.

Going to try and tackle the LR fuel rail tomorrow bright and early in the morning.
