Do the revits in the valve cover drill easily? Going to be that for a friend soon. Not really looking forward to it.

Little bits of progress. Installed these -10 fittings and sent the cover to powder coat.
Got the Kiggly HLA installed.
Random engine stand photo, oh and there's a transmission too.
Very slightly ported the pressure relief valve in the oil filter housing. I have a lower pressure spring on order for this too.
And here we sit. Waiting for a few more small parts to arrive and we'll be tossing this in the car.

They're press in -10. Think the hole is like 17mm. Got them from www.radiumauto.com

Sitting on the stand and a parts table just about ready to see an engine bay.
But first, we block the EGR port at the head.
You need one of these.
And one of these. The grease helps catch shavings of metal, fyi.

Welp. I'm back from Hawaii and got my water feed pipe and oil drain gasket in the mail. I can finish putting the turbo on.
Maybe I'll slap this thing in the car this weekend.
