Ready to go, minor tweaks
Well, ryan got the spacer today from summit. They sent him a 1 inch instead of a half inch, blarg. Thankfully they have a full machine shop at his work, so he was able to go in today and shave it down to a half inch. In other news the rest of the car is put together, aside from the hood, the charge pipes are on, the radiator is in. As always some random stuff has to go wrong everytime. This time the Schrader valve on the fuel line started leaking fuel... makes no sense, but after taking it off, reseating the pin, and re-tightening it it seems to be ok now. Letting the car run for a little while and not bleeding the cooling system yet = water getting hot. Basically shut it down for the night and let it cool off. Gunna go at it again tomorrow, no point in rushing it now. As always here are some pics for you. Sloppy mechanics approved coolant filter, a paper towel, hahaha.
