Hey people i just wanted to show how my progress was going...! check out the blog if you want to....!

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/blogs/blinky619/1434-my-engine-rebuild.html

well so far ive put the oil cooler back on...! got the intake manifold on with brand new mitsubishi dealer gaskets including, oil filter housing, exhaust manifold, egr valve, oil pan, valve cover, turbo outlet gasket, turbo to manifold gasket, throttle body gaskets, metal headgasket, all from dealer...! also put some ARP headstuds, lightweight fidanza flywheel etc etc. im taking it slow going through everything twice and sometimes 3 times...! just want some feedback on how its going... any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated...!!

PS. it looks a bit messy but thats just for now...!

Looks good. I highly recommend changing that 1g throttle body elbow to a 2g and a little wire clean up and it will look really good. A red valve cover would look sweet under that hood too.

yea i know i was thinking about that...!

Maybe even gold to match your rims.

I have a pulverized GM 3.1 piston that I keep around to remind me not to lay tools and parts all over the engine bay while I work. That was a bad day.

Good luck with the build.
