You should be able to smash the 500 I would think. You've got some nice parts and overall build looks good.
Welcome to the Syvecs club!

Yes mate its nice to see it all finally coming together, and the parts bin that has been huge for such a long time gradually get smaller as parts get fitted. Most satisfying is that its different to the normal stuff i build.
Lol, who knows Matt, maybe someone might offer me a job as an engine builder? A motorsport team would be nice
Yes mate, just the standard ARP 11mm items.

I haven't had to modify the take off, just the fixing bolt/tube to suit it.
I'm doing away with the stock oil/water modine and just running the Mocal.
The fixing is too long and too narrow for the Mocal. So it has been shortened, had the thread cut further down the shank and had a sleeve turned and tig welded on so now it fits the Mocal like an OEM part.
Pretty easy to do and now it fits perfect.

Check out the take off fitted in the last pic. You can see how close it mounts to the block now. Its only on there loose at the moment as i dont know where i'll want the pipes to come out till the exhaust manifold is on. But it fits really nice, so im quite pleased with it.
Sod that mate, means moving to Cumbria, money would probably be crap too. lol

Perhaps I shouldn't have knocked the detailing on the head.

Nothing much to report today guys. Ive checked all the camshaft turnover torques and endfloats and done the tappet clearances. Now i need to order some new buckets to get the required spec.
So while thats been going on ive been sorting parts to go to the powdercoaters. Think im going to try and stick with the wrinkle red manifold for an OEM look and go for gloss black/bright silver for everything else.
Cam covers will be piano black i think.

450
457
466
467
470
471
472
474

484
These are what i have to trade if need be:

494
496 (x2)
501
502
503

Hi mate, yes neil is hopefully doing it in the next couple of weeks, i was going to get the rcm kit but i thought i'd try neil as i liked the look of his work on the website, but it was also the fact i saw cupcake and you had gone to him over on 22b.com
I have a built 2.15, wiseco pistons, new 2.5 crank, lateral rods, acl race bearings, arp head studs, api oil pump etc
Using mildy ported sti5 heads but standard sti valves and cams for the min.
GT30r .82 all in a type r shell.
It wont be as insane as yours but it will be good

Frayz can you not machine yours down, so that they are useable.
