I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

337k! Very nice.
(The YT tags are very picky. You have to change https to http and strip off anything after the (ampersand) & character. I'll update this soon to be more forgiving.)

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Just a few blue things to show.
I am not sure if the color of any of these compliments will make a difference in performance, but IPD and Snabb both told me so.
Just kidding. I know it has to be blue.
None the less, the 3" induction seems to work.

I did clean up things while I was in there. A wire brushing was used on some crusty metal parts, and an after shot of high temperature clear coat for a few things. I didn't go overkill with polishing, just cleaning and sealing as I had a spray booth and a temperate indoor setting with which to work.850 LPT wrote:Ben, that is one fine looking engine bay.

- I also did a clear coat leaving patina.
Oh my,
I must also give a shot or two of the cool garage I sometimes get to use.
- Can anyone say "Dichotomy"?
- Yup.
