Yup still have her. She's being a real pain right now though.

New gasket set arrived yesterday and the heads are back on at least. Didn't get Cometic this time, just went with Felrpo. Not spending another $150 on just head gaskets to fail again. Instead I got my Felpro set for the top end for $70.

Well the turbo is getting fitted again with the boost plumbing now and some things aren't fitting quite the same as before, so some rearranging had to take place.

Cheeks, i notched the core support to move the rad and condenser forward 2 inches. i may go to a different radiator if the stock replacement doesn't cool it well. looking for a double pass so it doesnt have hoses everywhere
here is a short video of it running, non turbo. crank seal was leaking after taking the video so its partially disassembled again
