Are you doing the mazmart water and oil pressure mods?

Always so nice to see a short block al cleaned up and re-assembled. The small size of the engine is a thing of beauty.

one thing I would do to is file all the casting marks out from the coolant channels in the housing.....mine had major blockage. I also cleaned up my LIM you can see major cast marks where it attaches to the UIM. Probably doesn't do anything but its to easy not to fix.

I cant remember but are you doing any porting?
