Got sick of the power steering whine on long drives, finally moved the pump further away from the fire wall.

Routed the hotside pipe around the power steering pumps new location.

Can't hear it in the car anymore.

It has been 10 years or so since i installed the reverse head for shits and giggles, was a budget build so reusing valves and springs etc was the go. Probably time I rebuild the head properly.

Super Tech valves

BC springs

Switched from HKS 272 to GSC S1

Checked over the pistons and rings

Finally got rid of this useless bracket thats been stuck their for a while (power steering pump bracket, replaced with elec-hydraulic pump)

Scrap alloy catch can, plumbed back into intake pipe, 2 stage filtering/seprating

Pressure testing... found a leak, should have rebuilt it when i bought it many years ago

Need to remember to empty my muffler water more offten (yeah e85 can suck when you dont drive the car enough)

Cut off a hotdog to see how it would sound.... still not loud.. Got bored and added a dumpy tip from left over bends from other jobs..

Alloy cover to tie in the 6bolt lower cover. Later model head does not have mounting points below the cam gears for timing cover. So at times the timing cover can flex and touch the cam gears.
