New exhaust lifters and tensioners poached in hot fresh oil
Stock intake lifters were poached in oil + marvel mystery oil mixture. You can actually see the old dirty oil spit out as the oil heats up. I let it cool down and repeat for a few more cycles until no more old oil spits out

Ferraro rocher, anyone?
That's amazing that the lifters fit so well in the chocolate case Did that just happen to be lying around the house when you figured out that it would make a perfect storage area for your lifters? Do tell the story of the moment of clarity when it all came together
Another way of prepping the lifters and tensioners is using a strong storage container and taking a tire valve and install it on the cover, then I use the A/C vacuum pump along with A/C gauges and fill container with oil till above the parts and suck the air out of the container with parts in less than 10 mins or till you see no more bubbles coming out of the parts.

The moment I saw the empty case lying on the kitchen table I knew it's the perfect tray
I only used it to hold the lifters temporarily. I had another plastic box with 24 partitions for the individual lifters.

If you remember, my engine case was clocked such that the SPOFA for the IMSS is about 230 degree out. Emailed LN and John took care of it by sending a new one with the proper orientation (no shims are needed). Also, I bought the BR30 break in oil from them a while ago and at the time they didn't have BR40 in stock. They have now and they just sent me a case (12 bottles) for free. Thanks Charles and John!
SPOFA with the correct output port orientation (anywhere from 7 to 5 o'clock)
You guys are so lucky having an actual class to teach you, I had some great help in the uk from my local Indy garages which are really good but it took time collecting info, I even contemplated flying over!!
When is your book out jake it's on my list of must haves !!
if you ever sell the car, make sure to cut LN a cheque for all that free oil. lmao! jokes
I'm willing to bet Ahsai doesn't have any vacuum leaks that cause him to get p1ssed off and put it up for sale. Plus, since he paid to take the class, he didn't need as much hand holding. But let's try not to derail this thread with petty irrelevancies.

Guys, we should all stay positive! I think AWDGuy is just too tired of the engine/car after all the hard effort he has put into it.
Useful tool hack - thanks for sharing.
I always wondered why that IMS bolt head was not an internal hex/allen ,XZN or Torx.Slot head screws have been obsolete for most applications for 20+years.
Not much more to say than thanks Ahsai, Jake and others who've added value to this thread. Awesome job - can't wait until the engine start video (hint hint)!
