Valve cover SHOULD be here tomorrow......🤞
 
Has it been a while? Where did you order from? That engine bay is looking superb.
Waiting for the shop to get to it, as they have been backed up. Received a pic early this AM.

Did you have to mod the battery box to fit that group 31? I’m picking up my X2 power 31m Friday.

Fits like a glove. I did make my own hold down when I went to 31.

Last peice for the cooling system was this heater hose. I also added some caps to the rear heater pipes to clean it up.

She runs! Coolant in, trans filled and cycled and ran to operating temperature. Found one leak at a brake line fitting by the master cylinder and snugged it up. No other leaks thus far.

I popped a MIL at the end of my idle run for a misfire on #3. Screw driver to the ear and injector is firing. Pulled the plug and I have spark so re-seated plug and wires. That is as far as I had time to get into it. In a couple weeks I will have the downpipe welded and then run some compression checks if needed.
