                I want to stay on pump gas.  I do have some bits for meth injection but haven't fully pulled the trigger on it.  I also have a rally road billet fuel rail that is collecting dust in the garage too. 

                I also got a brand new OEM S54 oil filter housing.  Thinking of running the VAC A/N fitting bolt on and running an oil cooler.  Seemed to be the cheapest option with my limited research.

                  I can help with ms3 where needed, though I still think you should make a harness instead of using the old one ;) 
                  How much did the new housing run ya if you don't mind sharing?
                  I assume you got ms3x ?
                  Yay for more tuning goodness!

                    $300 for the housing if i remember correctly with my discount.

                    I did get MS3x.

                    I'll try to give my harness a whirl and go from there.  I'm just thinking that wire is wire and if it works it works

                      Not a bad price at all on the housing! 
                      I can help with the harness, feel free to bother me with questions if you have them!

                        Don't tempt me with that!  Snap's phone is going through batteries like I go through head gaskets at the moment.

                            Just talked to the machines and my #2 valve seal was turned inside out causing oil to leak in the #2 seal. I was super worried that it my be piston rings.

                            He also checked my blunt tech manifold for straightness and it was off .060 and he doesn't have the right jig to mill it down.

                            My head has been milled down to the maximum. 5.500" total thickness. It's a new head if this one goes... Come on Megasquirt!

                            All new valve seals have been installed and no valves were bent!

                              holy beans thats a lot of warp. Sounds like your gasket or something wasn't quite right. Couldn't imagine them sending it out like that. but you never know. 

                              I have a 3" thick piece of mild steel with the 24v bolt pattern on it. I would try and bring it up to temp in the oven bolted down, and hopefully get it closer to straight, before milling of .060. retorque when its up to temp, and put it back in for a few hours. 

                              WE do this often in house for things that easily warp during heat treat. 

                              I built the jig for welding manifolds, so they do not warp as bad, and I can back purge them easily.

                                My head wasn't warped at all. Chris just milled the detonation marks away.

                                    If you look at the first pic you can see where the connector was digging into the MS3x.
