I mean, seriously. The nerve they got...lol.

Too funny.

Actually I believe that's the vendor's "signature" color if you will, as their website displays custom flywheels for many other applications with the same color.

I suppose if it were to ever be seen post install, I would've specified a specific color.

But it won't be. So out of sight, out of mind.

Lol while the paint scheme matches the tick, however I will let you know the point of that joke was because my engine is ticking. hahahaha

 

[bpd1151]

Yes. I am aware. Thus my chosen use of the word "pesky".

No need to feel compelled to explain a joke that I already understood there pal.

Boundary Racing Billet Oil Pump has arrived!!!

Also went one step further, and had the "WPC Treatment" applied to this piece as well.

No anticipated oil starvation events thanks to this product.

Hope everyone's well and slowly getting back to normal. Whatever normal may be of course.

Now if someone can just convince that stubborn Governor over yonder in Michigan to stop repeatedly extending the "stay at home/shut down" orders, maybe my transmission vendor can start receiving parts deliveries and finish up my custom trans work sometime in this lifetime!

Fingers crossed!

My longtime mechanic friend said he's recently spoken with the transmission vendor. Work is nearing completion. So much so that I was asked if I had a color preference (if any) for the casing.

Also, received an update from engine builder today as well, along with a few pics.

More parts have finally returned from the vendor performing the "WPC Treatment", and as such, more assembly work on the motor has commenced......

New crank (WPC'd as well) installed. Said it spins smooth as butter.

Head bolts properly installed, torque'd etc. (unlike how "L" had them installed, with outer's double washered, inner's no washers at all, what a joke).

Pin on the left is WPC'd. One on the right is factory new/untouched.

Wanted to share the progress. Get'n there. Little bit at a time.

What crank did you go with? Also got part numbers for the bottom end studs?! Coming along great!

 

[Autox4fun]

Great update!!

 

[SuperPete]

Awesome!

Not trying to be a pest Mike but any updates??

Unfortunately no. None. Engine builder has (deservedly so) been on an extended vacation.

Which he began, shortly after my last update.

I think he's due back in the shop this coming Monday, 06/29/20. But I suspect he'll be in full blown "catch up" mode.

Thanks for the inquiry and the continued interest. A feat of patience this is turning out to be.

Great things come to those who wait. Least that's what I keep telling myself.
