Since everyone is nitpicking, why do you have one of the TB bypass coolant hoses on the J-tube! But seriously, that is one clean engine, very nice.

 

[IJ.]

No, I forgot is and fixed it. Thank you.

LOL you're NOT the only one that's forgotten it !

B E A utiful. I was also curious about the resivoir in the back drivers side of the engine bay.

Looks like he's running a BMW radiator and that big ball is filled with coolant. Coolant overflow bottle. :biglaugh:

 

[supraman7mgte]

what type of overflow bottle is that? your set up is sweet

 

[935motorsports]

I love it, very clean.

I notice that the Euro folk really like to use SAMCO hoses!

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Great work!

Need to get rid of the j tube....

The watercoolant bottle is of of a MK4 Volkswagen Golf, Correct?

Needs moar cooling fan

Are you planning on a 2nd fan in that big empty area?

When the tiny filters clog up the pressure inside the crankcase starts to rise....

[Doward]

Especially noticeable if the rings aren't fully seated and sealed

different issue. venting the crankcase to the ATM dosnt cause the seal to blow or leak.
