Lightweight flywheel installed.



Old valve covers on so the ones that are freshly painted don't get scratched during the install.

Pull it out some weekend and paint it. If you were closer id give you a hand. We could have it out in a hour.

Yea, of ALL the sensors that could have broke, its the hardest to get to with the most to remove

Misc hardware???? Engine Bay?? Like what? I did manage to paint the modified radiator support finally... But all painting and fun stuff like that happens this winter when i do V2 of the headlight conversion and hopefully all 4 fenders stretched 1.5-2" for the 3" lips for the c2's to fit (time allowing)

There is over 600k on the "hinges" and "side engine mount bracket". They are as good as they are going to get. The car gets used. Its not a i get washed daily (or even weekly for that matter) car.
