i wanna buy up another soon while this deal lasts.
water + idle causes bent rod
water + driving causes blown cyl
a general rule of thumb with of course a couple exceptions here and there.
but dude how did you find one? i want one so bad but i keep finding ones for 1700-1800 which of course negates the whole purpose of my build.

Hey Garrett, welcome back bro!!! Got to get together after the family goes back home man, maybe track. 
Chris the exhaust heat wrap is damn time consuming, at least it wasn't itchy though. Got it really tight and then sprayed it with the DEI black silicon stuff. Hope it helps with the engine temps.
Also noticed while doing the s-pipe, that the clearance between the s-pipe and oil pan was about 1/8 of an inch. I wonder if that could of caused the oil to heat up more that it should. Once again, hope that wrap helps.


later man, I need a shower

Well Carlos, the IFO is this weekend at Houston Raceway Park. I'll definately be out there Sunday.
Which junkyard are you hitting up Chris? There are literally hundreds here in Houston. I need to get a few parts.
