I haven't tried it yet, but if you coat your floor with lin seed oil, will keep stuff from soaking in to the floor, I figured it was new, stuff hasn't started collecting along the walls
nice paint job, why did you pull the emblems off the front.

There is a plastic based coating, but diesel fuel destroys it, the stuff works very well where I havent spilled fuel. The side emblems and front emblems I thought were ridiculously priced from LMC. So I picked up some endless highway ones for the side and still need to get billet badges made for the front and doors.

The Pump needs to be 1 tooth ahead of the cam.

To put it simply, if you were to line everything up dot to dot, and then you pulled the cam out and rotated clockwise one tooth, that's where you would want it. So the pump needs to be one tooth ahead of the cam, or in otherwords, one tooth to the left of the cam.

that to me looks wrong...if everything was lined up dot to dot than the cam was pulled and rotated right one tooth the ip marking would be on the left side of the cam marking
