Keep up the good work!
All my best,

lower intake manifold O-Rings installed with Parker O-Ring Lube:
dollop of high temp silicone where the two ends meet:
every SS bolt that doesn't get Locktite gets anti-seize:
bits that like to hide in nooks and crannies (DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN YOUR NOOKS AND CRANNIES!!):
I'm about done assembling for the night, I need to stop by Earls tomorrow and pick up a few things and I need to re-polish the whole assembly with the pink liquid polish and seal it(see pic below):

Devin, I would have thought that Eaton would have popped for a TVS2300 as a promo by now. I just can't believe they are not aware of what you are doing... and your meticulous attention to detail.
I'd start asking for free ****... all they can do is say no...
