It's funny that you say that... Last night after I got the motor in I was turning it over with the starter to build oil pressure and it started leaking oil terribly. discovered that in my rush I forgot to install the oil control valve. That's fixed now but easily over looked!

Some quick pics of the rebuild











Wrong manifolds but mine were port matched just like this. That's where most of the wait came from.




Machined the crank pully while I was at it to get some more clearance






This is the one thing I don't like about the DTM shroud, the way the oil cooler installs. First the oil cooler adapter goes on, then the shroud, pull out the top 2 long bolts out of the adapter, and wriggle on the oil cooler while keeping the seals in place. Then thread in the long bolts in through the cooler and bolt everything together. just a pain.
