No big updates. Getting the email with your comment inspired me to buy the last missing piece, a hood latch.

Hopefully it fits!

 

Hood latch on, but noticed it was leaking oil. These motors spend most of their time on the oil pan, so i put a new one on and tried out a fel-pro paper lower pan gasket. While i was in there i changed out the oil cooler gasket. Just gotta run to the store, slap 5 quarts in her and she should be good to go!

 

that feeling when you hit the starter button and all you hear is a clunk.
Been there. Bad day. (86 z28 crate engine)( 09 gsxr600)
But anything can be fixed! nice work!
