[QUOTE="laextreme5, post: 15492332, member: 183717"] So, big update coming in. This stupid ****ing taking forever Sti motor is about ready to drop in, alleviating the engine stand so i can get some more progress on the motor. In the mean time i gave the heads a good cleaning. Still need to hit the intake ports some more as the were DURTYYY.
