The labor intensity isn't really that much different than any other hand-cut side seal rebuild I have done before (and in a few ways it was easier to work with the ceramic apexes but we hadda be careful not to drop them and be sure to keep them clean).
Lemme say THIS much; unlike when I rebuilt my engine back in MI inside my "serial-killer" shed, I was very happy to have my surgically-clean garage in AZ for this build.

Having the room to work and the tools to do it properly is a great thing.

I rememeber you were getting your hands dirty, I was wedged under the dash, and I made some comment about not wanting to have to call the fire department/rescue squad if you ended up under the car/dashboard or something like that. I was in "rare form" that day and you were starting to understand that I only harrass those whom I like.

Alright!!!!
Just have to move the schedule to the right some and we should be ok....
Tell Erick his painting looks siiiick!
As for lightening; Ray said it best - also in that same convo with Ray and Kevin from RR is going 3mm Ceramics; and the same issue kept coming up - if a rotor gets jacked up or cracks due to the material removal - the motor has to come apart again; to save a few ounces it just isn't worth it for a street car.

Danngggggg--i didnt know i was doing motor mounts for this kind of beast
This is going to be one hell of a "beta test"
I should have realized the leatherneck connection--me 5 yrs a long time ago.
Give Ray a lip smack on that shiny skull head of his.
Think you will be the 1st ported FI?
Sweet build and i am subscribing!

Well almost anybody. I have a lot of video and pics. But in the middle of the build the batteries in my camera went dead.
