Used a funnel and a paper towel to create a seal on the oil reservoir and just blew on it to prime the line prior to startup, clearances are tight but nothing is rubbing. I did end up with the air filter touching the frame, so I had to trim the coupler a bit to gain clearance.

I also removed the Perrin oil cooler I had and replaced it with the JR radiator\cooler combo, things are very tight with the Nameless header but it works. Drove it to the tuner on the base tune, kept it under 3k RPMs under light load and it drove normally so I guess everything went ok.

Question: after I let it idle and checked for leaks, I noticed the SC get pretty hot, is that normal? I've had turbo cars before, this is my first SC.
