Slightly ported and polished up my exhaust ports. Bought a m-coupe diff cover and started prepping some pieces for paint.

I love those diff covers! Keep the progress coming!
Thanks! I'll start the painting soon. I gotta get the tutorial on how to use the bead blaster then the progress will start snowballing.
Is that the cover from Merton? How much did you get it for?
I got it from Merton but loose lips sink ships!

Anyone have an IS lip? Need it for this. My old one broke off at 120.

Been a little tied up with work lately. But I just ordered this: http://www.rallyroad.net/content/e30-steering-column-mounted-gauge-pods
I'll get out to the barn tomorrow for some painting! Well that's the plan at least.

Wrapped most of my hardness and clearly labeled everything.
Also primed my alternator and started media-blasting my m-coupe diff.

Why not just run a catch can off of the valve cover?
I want to pull vacuum for the crank case. More power!

More power?
Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows.

I've read and talked to people that if you pull vacuum from the CC you make more power.

A little painting. Still waiting for the Rods and Pistons.
I need to head to the junk yard and pull some wiring harness brackets. Talked to the engine builder and he will take 2 weeks to do the bottom end.

The crank bolt was a pain.

What did you use to clean up your timing cover? It looks so smooth=D
I media blasted it and two coats of primer. She is smooth!
@DrLeadFoot

You weren't afraid of particulate getting stuck in the cover and contaminating the oil? Maybe I'm thinking too much=P
I will clean the crap out of everything when I'm putting it back together.
Still waiting on the rods and pistons. They were to be shipped this week. Maybe today...
