What battery did you use? red top 25?

thats what i used yes

I decided to go ahead and loop the timing belt through the motor mount just to prep for the cams when they show up sometime this century. The torque solution mounts are very nice and fit perfectly if anyone is looking to replace their old ones these are very nice quality. Too bad my Ignition amplifier covers this up it looks very nice in there.

That is a nice piece. It still poking its head through

I ordered some JMF billet radiator supports. I like improving performance but I like it to look good too.

 

[JeffGS-T97]

Installed new JMF rad brackets.

 

[JeffGS-T97]

No new parts yet but i heard from STM today and verified a ship day for my cam shafts 4/4/21. My initial order date was in January. This is literally the longest ive ever waited on engine components.

 

[JeffGS-T97]

decided to clean up the brake fluid reservoir bracket as a little side job while waiting for parts.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Nice caps Jeff! I hated looking the rusty reservoir bracket. It always stuck out to me for some reason and they’re all rusty.

Thank you, JMF makes really neat stuff. I have their plug wire cover and oil cap in the same billet silver. Unfortunately i cant put them in until that guy sends me my valve cover who knows when that will happen.

 

[JeffGS-T97]

Got.some concrete news on my valve cover and cam shafts.apparently both should show up on the 14th this month, then back in business

 

[JeffGS-T97]

Got the valve cover fire today and mocked up the add ons to get a sneak peak of the end product. Brian Crower Cams will be here in the morning and the beast will be eating by the end of the day!

Removed the cam gears, and put the assembly on hold to get some new cam gears ordered before setting the timing. Got some purple HKS gears with two new OEM center bolts.

Man you’ve really got a nice car! Love the color co ordination and all those fancy jmf caps , you really can’t go wrong with polished aluminum

Man i took a look at your car and that setup looks very impressive. The engine bay is awesome, i really like the exhaust manifold alot

 

[1cleangsx]

Ha thanks man! I actually sold the manifold to another member on here so it went to a good home, but I’ve decided on running a more compact V band setup instead of a t4 divided

 

[JeffGS-T97]

I want to convert to v band so bad. I still run the 5 bolt down pipe flange...

 

[JeffGS-T97]

New Cam Gears still need to set the bottom side timing but it's almost ready to turn over

 

[JeffGS-T97]

The item 97 eclipse has been updated:

couple new pics of the end of the head build, some new cam gears.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Looking good Jeff

 

[JeffGS-T97]

Thank you I appreciate that!

 

[JeffGS-T97]

Kind of ran into a snag that I am just way too paranoid to decide on so if anyone has any input I got everything perfectly tensioned and can't decide if the the Crank is at TDC. opinions would be very appreciated.
