Some small bits, but will take some effort getting in

Big end bearing widths are freaky narrow

If I'm removing the front subframe to remove oil pan, timing chain etc to weld in the sump baffle and change the pan gaskets n bolts, I may as well do big ends, erm, then ARP rod bolts too. 

Invested in a half decent angle torque wrench too, time to get plastigauge kit too then Im into it

Fuel pressure reg re-tapped for m10x1 for low pressure fuel sensor, allowing fuel control module do its thing and pressures be read by ECU. No need for a gauge. Boost reference added from intake manifold.

Threw in a crank belt shield, then crank bolt capture to contain any bolt movement causing crank hub movement. I wont put in a splined crank hub for now. Ill take my chances.

Hard to match the OEM coral red leather so will take the closest better quality leather and dye it. Seat dropped to Waikumete Upholsterers
