Nope. Was fairly suprised how well mines handled it so far, even this cracked head wasn't caused by boost and I was running 10psi on a Non-intercooled N/A for 3 months... Found them...! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Finally some progress... Got a head, sent it out to be surfaced and got the valves grinded, and valve guide seals replaced. Got a new cam from camtech, new lifters.. Hopefully wont be long now. Problem is I can only work on it for a couple hours each day after work.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I understand the reason to move them But its a factory position, him and a few thousand other people have been fine with it like that so far Plus the effort factor lol

Ehhh, the slight effort it takes to allen key in the manifold plug, to save a hicomp motor that probably has a fair bit of blow by, i'd do it . Could be the difference between changing bottom ends lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Plan on having it going either tomorrow or friday night Daniel, we'll have to do the rocker cover some other time. I plan on getting a catch can soon, the car gets parked on grass, and gets driven in fairly dusty areas so would prefer to have everything sealed, or atleast have a filter. In winter I get a lot of condensation buildup where I park it.
