Cooling system was fully bled, I ended up figuring out that someone had wired the Verus Spal fans to the stock plugs and it was just popping the 25a fuses. Ordered two Spal fan relay kits, wacked them to a piece of aluminum, and wired it all up. I hate wiring, I should probably get some harness wrap for it.




Also figured out my smoking issue after resigning myself to pulling the cams and ordering valve stem seals.

When I put the car together I filled it with enough oil to account for the large Setrab cooler, but it ends up that making two AN lines is still on my todo list. I bought a safety wire drilled drain plug, which showed up today so I figured I'd just try draining the extra oil and swapping / wiring the plug.

Surprisingly (to me), no more smoke. I'd always figured a not excessively overfilled car would just push extra oil out the breathers (and into my catch cans), rather than somehow pull it up past the rings. Lesson learned.

Car actually feels pretty sorted and I'm pretty happy with it right now. My todo list is down to:

* Build two 10AN oil cooler lines
* Dyno tune
* Build bell housing cover
* Swagelok the stock fuel hardline to 6AN, make a 6AN line to the fuel rail, and wrap it in Aeroquip fire shield
* Corner weight
* Build a exhaust side heat shield
* Plumb in a flex fuel sensor
