Haha, I laugh everytime I type that. This is actually my second time cutting of cat nuts hock:. This time I'm buying stainless steel nuts and bolts, and coating them all with lots and lots of anti sieze.
Now its time to get back to work.

I took it for a drive today. VVL isnt wired up yet, its idling funky because the wiring for the TPS is messed up. I need to clean up all the wiring and a few other things, but other then that its done.
