    Corey, I think that the hole is supposed to be there in the first place. Not sure on the functionality, but all gb's I have seen have it.

    Yep. I have been informed of such.

    I've pretty much decided I'm going to pull the motor and set it on a stand so I can go through everything.

    Decided I'm just gonna pull the motor and replace/clean a lot of things.


    Slowly but surely removing stuff to get ready to pull.



    When you take the lower hose shower only to remember your CSF has a convenient drain plug.



    And out...

    The only better shower than a coolant shower is a fuel shower.

    I need to do some fuel filters soon. Ugh.

    Alright. The other day I disconnected everything, and got the engine ready to pull. Just was waiting on a hoist.


    I don't plan on taking this out again for a long time, so I didn't find it worth buying a hoist. So I had to wait for a friend to lend me one. I had at least 7 people willing to loan me theirs, but only one had means of delivering it to me. I also borrowed an engine stand from another friend. There's something to be said about great friends.


    So as I awaited the hoist, I spent my day fishing with a friend from out of town.



    And then I got the magical text and headed to the garage to get things done.

    All that had to be removed was the two motor mount nuts, and fuel lines. I had gotten everything else done ahead of time. It's pretty crazy how far I've come in the world of DIY mechanics. Sidenote: My grandpa passed when I was 14, just before he planned to start sharing all of his mechanic knowledge. I think he'd be proud of what I've been able to do in his absence.






    And here's where I will be spending a lot of time cleaning. (Probably going to roll it out on the driveway, cover electronics, and cover in degreaser and spray it down.

    As for some of the things that will be tackled....


    Definitely Happening
    • OEM Rear Main Assembly
    • 949 QMax Reroute
    • Belts
    • Heater Hoses
    • Basically any plastic that's been on the car since factory
    • Shortening/moving feed line
    • Rerouting drain line
    • Welding AN fitting on second oil pan to replace the one that's tapped
    • CLEANING EVERYTHING



    Maybe Doing
    • Powder Coating Capri Valve Cover
    • Installing Capri Valve Cover
    • Switch to COPS
    • Powdercoat various things
    • Finding/Fixing AC leak



    I'm sure there's more but that's what I can think of at 4am.



    Current routing of drain line and very limited clearance.
