I was thinking about it. It might look a bit more like the Spyder outlet. Ill have to see how I have to route it on final fitment.

Also the combo (minus clutch friction) for final balancing. Sometimes you get lucky and can "clock" the pressure plate and flywheel to get balance or close and then adjust a minor amount for final assembly balance.

The center hub is turned to fit the bore of the flywheel, a plate to bolt the flywheel to is bolted to the hub and the whole thing sits on the shaft.
Thanks so much Tom for the added details!

So the 20min breakin went well, just a weap on the oil filter bolt that I think is fixed now.

I used the method that Mike Levine uses by overfilling by 2 quarts so the cam is bathed in oil during breakin. Also, use the cam/lifter lube. Always paranoid to get a flattened lobe.

Next is to drop the drivetrain and swap the efi over to the new engine.
