well over seated my pilot bearing...looks like I am about to be the proud new owner of a PB puller....(read instructions first)
LIM is assembled and ready to rock
Exhaust is......well shall we say modified as best as I possibly could. Its hard to see what was done down on the inside of the manifold, its was a pretty ugly 90deg wall. I would much prefer a BHR long tube header
assembled new metering lines, attached OMP and sohn. Is my choice of routing ok? it seems to be the best way to do it without creating stress on the lines
now off to the LAP store for a PB remover then back to work

dont route them like that--looks like a little tension is on them?
I have found that a good thing to do is to go ahead and put some sealate around the omp seal/mount. In your case , the adaptor/block and the adaptor/omp. That STOPS any possibilty of oil leakage from that site.
