I'll get some new pictures and post them up. Things look good under the hood now and I've got about 3000 miles on the new engine. It also had a couple dozen laps or so at Calabogie race track.

This weekend I'm switching it over to synthetic oil.

Looks as good as the day it left the factory Colin - Great work

Personally I love the black painted top end - It suits the color of your car very well

Just please don't go bolting any silly colored anodized aluminum, chrome and blue silicon hoses etc...

Its not just a pulley, its a harmonic balancer.

Ok then.
So what difference does fitting a Harmonic balancer have.???
Is it more power or just better balanced engine.??

You need a harmonic balancer if you don't run a DMF. The DMF also acts like a harmonic balancer.

Another reason not to get a lightweight flywheel...

Thanks Raj, you just saved me a bunch of money!

Actually, a lot heavier. I can weigh it for you if it helps.
