Got another parts update, just got the new header in. It came with a test pipe and enough 02 sensor bungs to run the stock 02 sensor and the wideband I purchased.

The wideband kit is Innovate and includes the gauge too! I have the same kit for my Supra.

Thanks!

Yup, they can be a little tricky though. I laid the pen tip on a paper towel before starting so the paint didnt run, I made the mistake of not doing that when painting the letters on the clock and it ran.

- Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:04 pm #292606 Thanks, yea I like to have a lot of parts at one time so I can make sure I don't get distracted with other projects during down time.

Got an update:

Finally this past week end I got a chance to work on the pistons/rods. I put them together and it went pretty smooth, but when I got to number two lower combustion ring I got a little to anxious and snapped the ring in half.... no pics of the broke ring yet but I managed to finish the other two with no problems and orderd a new ring from JE for the piston.
