Finished, finally
Well, finished up my last few valve adjustment checks, triple checking it since its my first one, and i dont want to have to do this again for a long time. started the adjustment at 6pm when i got home, done triple checking by 7pm, started assembly, about 3 hours later around 10, i had the chain, sprockets installed and adjusted, clutch installed and adjusted, made sure the oil and coolant were still full... installed all the plastics, steering damper, seat man everything. checked the blinker fluid lol! Man everything, fired it up and took it out for a quick rip on the highway, man it feels great to have a bike again.

Bike Is running!
Put on the oil pan, and tossed in the motor today, filled it with oil, hooked up all the harnesses and clips etc, and fired her up! There is a valve tick in the top end now, i have to check the lash, most likely needs an adjustment, since i let the cups fall out when i took the head off. Gunna try to do it with the motor in, if i cant ill just yank it back out, but it sounds great.

She's Alive!
Well, did a crazy amount of stuff today, finished the fuel system, tested it for leaks, installed the alt bracket that halpin water jetted, installed the intake/throttlebody and the up pipe from the intercooler, ran all the wires for the new distributer, installed new tstat neck since the other one runs into the new hyme joint tensioner, connected, double checked, triple checked, finished the gauges in the interior, wich work great and i dont have a pic doh. Lots and lots done, ulitmately ended in us trying to fire the car, it being 180 out like always, then fixing it and firing it up, and ryan has a nice stiff idle tuned already, tomorrow it goes out on the street and possibly on the dyno...

Bike parts
I got all the parts to rebuild my bike thursday, I put the piston together and installed it, and slid on the new cyl block and found the difference between 05-06 cyl blocks and 03-04 cyl blocks, oil squirter relief's cut into the block, the 03 doesnt have em so it hits the squirters and wont sit flush, so i will have to get that machined before i can go any farther, yeah well, gives me more time to help out with getting the rusty going..

not much been going on in the slop world as you might be able to tell, saving money, gathering parts for the bike rebuild. Ryan has been collecting the parts to finish the fuel system.

New Wastegate
Well Ryan got the new wastegate about a week ago, and after some of the other jobs are out of the way its time to start working on the 5.0 again. Putting the wastegate on the top so it gets priority over the turbo and routing it back into the exhaust to make it quieter, also helps with scavenging excess gas out of the wasgate. I cant wait to hear it without the dump, should have a nice wicked turbo whistling sound. Here is the start.

Bills Oil pump
Oil pump replacement on bills 99 A4, apparently its fairly common that they wear out and start loosing oil pressure. I dont have much pics of this but its really not that exciting.
