p.s. way too many colours in the engine bay.

Did you remember to seal the rocker pedestal bolts? They were tapped into the water gallery and also have inserts to turn them into 3/8 from 7/16..

Looking good though. How painful is it to work in a clean engine bay- rattle black FTW :D

[Dave]

I did, I bolted half of them in, then realised, then I realised I couldn't find my thread sealer and had to drive to supercrap.

On a positive note, I got a kick arse impact socket set for 35 bucks, down from 100.

Clean engine bay is driving me a bit batty Drilling the holes for the catch can had me shitting bricks.

Yea agree about the fistings, I drew my plan out, wrote all the part numbers down, did a schmatic, found some errors, amended it, bought a bunch of stuff, went back the next day, exchanged some parts, fitted them, went back again.

I'm sure I won't be the first or the last, they are just to damm expensive to be able to buy 2 or 3 of everything and have it work straight away.

[Dave]

I bought a whole bunch of stuff ages ago, made some assumptions about straights and 90 degree fittings, I have lots of left over straight fittings.

hardline = win for price.

edit: just did another summit order, so much buttrape (in a bad way)

Looking good!

What are the dimensions for the peter$on catch can if you dont mind?

[Dave]

Ill check tonight mate.

[Dave]

Millsi, 1200x1800. One thing to keep in mind is that the fuckers use 30 dollar -12 o-ring fittings, rather than the 7 buck ones. So it ends up being a 300 buck exercise for the catch can.

A JNT or Miller chassis one would be cheaper, I did get mine on frequent flyer points though :p
