Well, I'll be putting all of the oil pressure precautionary measures through their paces as I opted to go with AC over dry sump for the time being. I'll let you know if the improved racing pan can really handle the claimed 1.4 lateral G's. Also added the Melling oil pump and the machine shop that built the motor says they were able to make it so the heads drain back to the pan better during cornering. My next step if need be is to add Accusump. Eventually I will convert to a dry sump setup but in the meantime I'll be keeping a very close eye on my oil pressure gauge!

Finally sold my calipers. Looking at ordering oil filter relocation stuff and maybe some tubing to try my hand at a set of headers.
Trying to decide between 3/4-16 in vs 1 1/2-12 oil filter/filter mount

I made a set for my GTM as they weren't available at the time. Wasn't too bad a project,,, although I think the FRS might be tougher. When I say made, I cut and fitted the tubes then tacked them. Sent the separate tubes out for TIG welds,, them assembled and tacked together with flanges and collectors and sent out for final TIG welds. Then out for JetHot coating. I will say that I mostly used 'Miscellaneous Bends' from Schoenfeld Headers which was just a bunch of left over bends. All mild steel,,, maybe stainless would of been a better choice though. Seeing your fab skills,,, I don't think you'd have a problem with it.

Completely forgot, but Yesterday was the two year anniversary of the Blown FA20. I had the FA20 taken out and torn down the next day. Need that kind of motivation now. Just too fun to drive.

Engine is ready to come out. Ran out of time last night.
I don't think my current catch can is enough. Going to try and figure out another solution before the engine goes back in (which I hope to be next week) This shows more build up and the flakes of nylon or whatever is woven around the trickflow hose. Super cheap and has actually worn off. Will be replacing with vibrant hose. The fibers are just from taking the intake off, they weren't actually being sucked into the intake while running. Trans leak is still as bad as before. Plan is to try and remove just the tail housing and reseal, worst case I send it to someone to have diagnosed. Wasn't going to do a whole lot while engine was out, but things keep popping into my head. Improved Racing Crank Scraper/Windage tray, as well as Energy Suspension full bushing kit, and Whiteline offset front control arm bushing have been added. Hopefully get everything in before next weekend.

It's out:
Leak is isolated to this side: I am pretty sure I took a picture of this last time the engine was out, but they aren't getting any better. Along with the oil filter relocation stuff and the crank scraper, I ordered a Fluidampr Crank Pulley to replace my Powerbond unit.

1st of a couple packages arrived
Fluidampr to replace my Powerbond Crank Pulley. -4an hose to replace the cheap and failing trick flow hose on my steam port kit, and -10 an hose/fitting for my oil filter relocation kit. The oil filter mount, Crank Scraper, and some gauge fittings are coming straight from Improved Racing but havn't been shipped yet, hopefully it's not too long a wait. I was hoping to have this back up and running this coming weekend.

Well.
Part of me says put it together and run it this season and see what it looks like next winter. Part of me says do bearing now. I am going to pull a main cap and see what the bearing looks like. I will decide from there. BTR gaskets came in:

That is at least what I have found in my research, so the better choice was the fluidampr IMO.
