I removed the oil separator plate and cleaned that pcv area out. That spot usually gets gunked up pretty bad. The plate bends easily upon removal and I believe is listed as one time use part. The older design had a plastic cover that always leaked. This one had 10mm bolts that I have not seen before. The correct bolts are 4mm Hex bolts (I believe). New plate and correct bolts in hand just waiting on some fresh fuji bond. The extra tubes I had all went bad.



I used OEM Multi layer gaskets.



Heads are bolted on.



Sprayed the header and exhaust with Heat resistant exhaust coating. Came out looking very decent, hopefully it lasts. Next is to wrap the header.




I stripped down the intake manifold and hot tanked it. Putting it back together should be fun. Lots of vacuum lines that need to be replaced and a very crunchy wire harness.
