Looks great man! Awesome build.
Evil E, I used Master Formula aluminum sealer, it was like $7 at the Good Guys show

LOL, I know I said I wouldn't, but, I polished the upper leading edge of my dual H/E setup:




oh and btw, the Innovator West crank damper shines up REALLY nice!:

Lastly, before I installed the MP122H I wanted to make sure the inter-cooler system wouldn't have any leaks so I made a make shift pressure test system using some old 5/8" hose, a stock crank damper bolt, a bicycle pump, and some hose clamps, system held 10lbs of pressure for 10mins

Grippy,
Everything is coming together for you at long last and you have to be excited to be this close! I'm excited for you and I believe that most folks who have been following this thread for months have to be excited.

Do you have a guess as to when you will be ready for the first start of the engine?

All my best,

Steve

I think I'm gonna hold off on the pics until it's a little closer to a finished product now, not much detail left to show, just putting it all together at this point, you know what I mean
speaking of which, it looks pretty damn sweet!
