looks good man. Seem like your right on top of things! Leads me to a question as im getting ready to put everything together. As far as all these damn paper gaskets that come with the gasket kit. Did you use gasket sealer instead and ditch the paper, or line the gaskets with sealer? And what kind of sealer if any did you use?
Oil pan i used black rtv,all the places the paper gasket are for i used paper gasket and aviation gasket sealer,You can buy at auto parts store. Make sure to use RTV on the corners of the rear timing cover where it meets the head when you do the head gasket:icon_razz Johnmk3forme said:
thanks for the info. I went to advance today and bought like 4 different kinds of silicone. All were permatex brand but didnt see any aviation gasket sealer. What brand is it and which store did you get it at. I figured I probably ought to try another auto store just to see what everyone carries.
:3d_frown: Bummer the HPF group buy cams have been delayed :icon_evil I bought the 272 race cams should i wait for them or just say the hell with it ?Give me your opinions.

why MDC? And how do you go about doing that? I mean when I start my motor for the first time Im going to have to set the timing and all. I wont necesarily be concentrating on the rpm'sMDCmotorsports said:

Well all did not go as planned because i could not find room for the oil cooler:icon_evil
So i took pics for reign maker of the brackets for the intercooler and nose support i made.
Then i tried my front bumper for fit. ,All went well.
So i go down to the house to get a beer and low and behold look whos here FEDEX truck then i see this Blond babe in a fedex iniform.:evil2: So i asked her if she would like to stay for a beer but she had to go .Figures oh well she brought me this.
Then i take my new thermostat hose and install the thermostat.
After that i start working on my alternator drop down bracket and try to install the lower bracket but it would not fit so i made one:biglaugh:
So the oil relocation is for another day.
