Remember you need to balance the crankshaft with the pulley and the clutch kit installed(except the disc) in order to get the true 0.0x rotational balance.

Even if you are using a self adjusting silicone or gel based pulley you should balance it!

don´t leave that out in this beautiful build!

Another belt you need to replace if you haven't yet, is your balance belt... I've had mine let go during a track session right at full WOT and destroyed my intake valves, Cosworth intake cam, and pistons

Great looking headwork and attention to detail overall!

No big worries if the accessory belt breaks other than a tow. If you don't notice it you could overheat the car, but that would be pretty difficult to not notice with no power steering / ac / power loss from the alternator / etc.

Once you've vented the block, where does that AN line run to? Another catch can? Atmosphere? I only see you venting from the head to the catch can...

I have replaced it 4 years ago together with cosworth Kevlar timing belt.

My initial plan was to vent the block via hose and on top a small filter and see how it will behave.
Another possibility will be to connect it to catch can and then to the turbo.
Will test when done the swap

The EVO looks good, for a red car :P What brand Lift are you using? I am looking at one just like it now for my house. Would appreciate a response.

Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "brand lift"? Do you mean the Engine holder (stand)?
If yes, it's a regular engine stand (500LBS).
