OH YES... IT IS PRETTY... The engine is sitting in the garage right now fully re-assembled and filled with charcoal lighter fluid... LOL Seriously UP TO THE GILLS in charcoal lighter fluid.... 15 quarts of the stuff soaking into the metal and lubricating / cleaning every nook and cranny... All of the cylinders / valve guides, everything... A racecar engineer told me that the best thing to do when storing an engine is fill it entirely with charcoal lighter fluid because it lubricates all of the parts, but still cleans the carbon and sludge from the internals and everything will drain out when you empty it....

Now, I'm just waiting on the SPEC clutch / throwout bearing to arrive... They (SPEC) went on holiday and were supposed to deliver before Christmas, but I must have missed the UPS deadline... So I am not expecting it till Jan 2nd or so...

Getting closer, step by step...

PS: I had Linder Technical Services in Indianapolis do the injectors... Freakin' expensive ($70 each) and they found 2 injectors that had messed-up spray patterns so I replaced them... all were running at the same flow rate I got from Scott at Bosch... So at least I know that info was correct...

Happy Holidays... I'll keep you posted on the progress and hope to see you at the track next year...
