^ Thanks, I got stressed out trying to get as much done as possible before starting a new position. Now that I've started I'm content waiting. And good thing. I've needed to replace a couple cracked water jacket seals. I had to decide about a middle iron that got corroded mysteriously. While waiting for the water seals to arrive I decided to buy new side seals for one of the rotors.

Story on the side seals are that I bought an FD rotor as a replacement. I meticulously kept track of the side seals and corner seals. Kept track of which slot each one came from. My original good rotor I did not keep such good organization. When it came time to spec out the side seals I found some interesting numbers. Every one of the FD side seals and corner seals were in spec between the two. On the FC rotor I could not find one that was in spec. They were all at .007, one or two was at .008. As reference FSM specs are .0025-.006.

I'm going with new side seals on the FC.

Other updates:
I've got the subframe on the original turbo vert dropped. Differential off and ready to go. I also moved the red turbo vert to my sister's pole barn to make the swap happen. The pole barn is large enough that I can put the verts side by side. Get both subframes and differentials off and swap them.

As an added bonus her family lives on a lake. When it gets too hot I jump in the lake....literally.

As soon as the heat wave passes I'll start prepping body parts for paint. Ideally I'd like to paint the hood, scoop, side skirts, front bumper, lip and touch up a few spots on the body. We'll see how much time allows for.
