Sh0velMan's Track Car Build

Sh0velMan

Installed the last of the bolts needed for the exhaust.. had to go to the hardware store and get a new one for the triple-bolt flanges in the rear section, I broke a header flange bolt (taking it off, of all things) and had to use one of those to re-attach it yesterday.

Tightened up the rest of the bolts, always funny how much more squish you can put on an exhaust after you've heat cycled it once or twice.

Added more coolant... After I let it run and sit, I was able to add maybe another half pint of coolant... I am thinking it may actually be full now.. hard to say. Temps seem normal (at idle with revving) based on what the ECU reports, so after it's seen some road time we'll see where the levels are.

Also, opened the catch cans up and checked for evidence of oil. Looks like they're working perfectly, oil dribbles were very evident on the inlet tube, oil was clearly coming into the tube and flowing down to the bottom of the tube and dripping out the bottom.

The outlet tube had ZERO evidence of oil on it, meaning the engine isn't sucking the oil in. Which is perfect.

If anyone cares, I can make some drawings of how I built the oil/air separators for the cans in case someone wants to buy these super cheap cans and make them work.

The car sounds fcking amazing. Can't wait to actually drive it and terrorize the neighborhood.
