    Looks good, I'd advise ditching that coil pack for an oem one.

    No. Shop accidently bent oil squirter. Luckily I saw it before putting the pan on. That's why it is off in that picture.

    Looks great! I had Alta boots on my intercooler they leaked so keep an eye on them.

    Cars alive. However I had a bad exhaust leak so I got that fixed. Installed a Bosch o2 sensor. Big mistake, car couldn't get a reading most of the time no reading. Had a short in the oem sensor related to the needing exhaust work and the leaks at the flanges. So I fixed the OEM sensors wiring and have it back in. Thought my loud ticking was my exhaust leak turns out I don't have any more. It did get quieter after the leaks were gone but I pulled my valve cover and had to remove my rocker arms. Found cylinder 1 had failed rocker assembly. Both lifters on it were dead. No pressure. So they had a gap between the valves and the caps.
