Took apart those cheesy AN clamp fittings and powder coated those for places like plastic tubes on the over flow and option B tank. I like this better than the soon to fade, lucky if any match in color anodizing. I'm not using big worm clamps in them, rather crimp clamps that will almost be completely covered by the housing.

I used my $30 valve spring compressor today. Worked like a charm. The milled/ported head has new seals and I'm installing the stock springs now. Just gotta wait for my timing set and a replacement balance shaft since the retaining thing on one of mine broke. Then put the engine back in the car and pray

I had a big batch drying on a big table right next to the house overnight. Went out in the morning and it was gone. We are in the middle of nowhere and the stuff wasn't visible from the road, so I thought overnight would be fine but I guess not.
damn bro thats bullshit.

Tell me about it. Easily $1000 in finished carbon. Now I'm just gonna focus on getting my g5 running and making it as light and ghetto as possible. Power window deletes, carbon body panels, the works. And since I don't care what people think, it's okay if the carbon doesn't look perfect. In fact I want it to look pretty awful.

Modded my motor mount.

Dissembled and cleaned out the fluid. Filled that void with 2 part polyurethane as well as the base.
Powder coated the top and cleaned up the aluminum mount with the mill. Powder coated the engine mount in my favorite wrinkle black. Should be a little stiffer without the harshness of a full polyurethane mount. Best part is it only cost me a couple hours of time.

Got a goodie box ? in the mail from ZZP today 😊

60# high flow injectors EV1 style
LSJ injector harness EV1 style
2.9" pulley
GM stage 2 belt
PCM Reflash for the new 60" injectors
Iridium NGK plugs 1 step cooler
Valve cover gasket

I also picked up a yellow painted valve cover from Monograt hence why I picked up a new valve cover gasket

The only downside is as I was examining my new parts I noticed that one of the connectors on my injector harness was slightly damaged & I couldn't fix it so ZZP emailed me out a return label & I got it back in the mail so that they can send me a replacement.

Currently I'm running the 42" injectors that came with my GM stage 2 kit & im running with a 3.0" pulley which has my 42" maxed. I'm already running the GM stage 2 belt & while it's still in really good shape more than 3 years later I figured since I was dropping down a pulley size I better throw on a new belt that's tighter with less chance to throw itself off!

I recently upgraded all of my cooling mods by getting the ZZP heat exchanger which is working in tandem with my OEM HE plus I installed the ZZP dual pass endplate & I threw on the option B kit so I'm good as far as cooling mods go. I also installed a 3" ZZP header with their 3" down pipe & their 3" catback with resonator & 3 chamber muffler system so I figured with all of those recent upgrades along with everything else that I'm running it was time to upgrade my injectors & drop another pulley size

I'm hoping that anyone on here who is currently running my new setup can tell me what they think & what I can expect with my new injectors & pulley ?

Front passenger coil over was rattling so I ended up taking the driver side out as well, cleaning them real good, greasing them and making sure everything was nice and tight. The passenger side nut on the top was the issue causing the spacers to rattle. Everything is nice and quiet now!

Doesn't hurt to re tint after a while as it starts to turn blue inside lol
