A must on cosworths. Mine leaked like a siv when I sprayed meth turns out the end cap bolts all loosened off, thread lock and RTV no issues since.

Great news! And besides, I've been working on becoming a more patient person. This has helped!

Hopefully we'll get some more progress reports soon. The Forged Tech on the job took a vacation - we all need a break once in a while! The engine should be about ready to go back in the car from what I've heard.
Last report I got from Ryan before I left the country on 3/12 was the engine just needed timing and valve covers put on, and all parts were in for the rest of the build. Should be getting close!
