I'm liking that H2E!!!! I went with a 38R but man that whistle just kills me some times!! I'm curious to hear how she runs. I'm looking at doing the Stage Is & live tuning to finish my build, so your input would be greatly appreciated. Have fun with it!

Just a reminder to:

Re-torque all the rod and main caps.

Pay close attention (inspection) to the cooler jets.

Make sure your pickup tube isn't cracking.

You aren't ever going to have a better opportunity to access those things.

is the pick up tube cracking a common thing? hmmmm.....78k on the motor should i replace it? im all about replacing crap while its easy. i just put the new melling pump on and my fluidampr arrives on tuesday. i did read somewhere though that as long as you dont take out the cooler jets you really dont have to worry about them, but when you do and re-use the bolts thats when guys have trouble with them falling out. any truth to this do you know?

oh and where should i look for the crack on the pick up tube? thanks....
