I agree, beautiful work. I've been thinking about what to do with the balance shaft/water pump chain tensioner. Are you going to make a block off plate for that?

 

The oil holes feeding the tensioner are blocked off because of the front bearing delete sleeves I put in. I wish I could come up with a good name for those and stick with it. :)

 

No more oil loss to anything that deals with the balance shafts, chain or tensioner.

 

Nice work, PM!

 

Thanks for the kind words guy's!!!

 

Here is some more Picts of the engine put together minus the exhaust manifold and turbo.

 

Here is the intake spacer installed.

 

Throtle body spacer.

 

Here is the fifth injector installed. I probably won't need it, because of the stage 2 cams having the moded fuel pump lobes, and having the Opel injectors, but I might just use it to help keep the intake valves clean.
