mounts are filled and will be curing for the next few days I'll take some pics at some point.

ran into a snag building the motor. rods have to go to a machine shop to be pin fit, hopefully if I throw them some extra cash I can have them back no later then monday.

calling the place about a new driver's side window tomorrow and I'll start installing the ecu and gauges and other little things.

sooo I ****ed up and installed two of the exhaust valve seals on the intake side before I realized it. :furious: now I gotta wait till the two new ones come so I can fix it. also the machine shop I was going to take the rods to to be pin fit was closed today cause the guy had to go out of town. starting to look like I won't finish the build by the time I finish my class next week which means I'll have to finish it in a storage shed with a ****ty selection of tools.
