cleaned the front case and the oil pump gears and installed all new gaskets.

Just to be sure, you sealed off the oil galley in the sawed off balance shaft?
It looks open here.

so monday i hit a snag and found a pin hole leak in my radiator and sent mishimoto an email. they got it covered under warranty and a new one is on the way. you guys rock.

with the old radiator removed and since i couldnt drive the car yet i decided to finish the 1ga to 1gb front conversion to match the new 1gb rear that i put on.
 
thanks, cant wait to have it done so i can drive it once nice weather hits
 
so tomorrow was supposed to be the first day of tuning the new aem but the weather gods have decided to shit on NY again and snow is in the forecast. so I will order the new coilovers and finish buttoning up some small things on the car before its driving time.
