Update to the list:
To-Do:
0. FIND OIL LEAK/BURN
1. Inconel studs (RX-7 ordered, still need resbond but I think I am going to run without resbond for now because its a biatch to find)
2. Exhaust bracing. (Ordered a 3 inch exhaust clamp)
3. Locking downpipe bolts (Arrived)
4. Back braces (DIY)
5. Install new springs (550 Front, 350 rear)
6. Oil+water temp guages. (Going with a VEI systems gauge)
9. Put beads on intercooler pipes (Probably DIY: DIY $5 charge pipe bead roller - D-series.org, unless someone local knows somewhere to get it done cheap)
11. Find diff leak.
12. Heat Shielding. (master cylinder, brake lines)
13. Tune.
14. Break stuff.
15. Manifold relief cuts
Done:
4. Seats + Harness
8. Hardtop (Got one)
7. Helmet (Going to continue to run my open face helmet and wait for sa-2015)
10. Find coolant leak. (risky to put this here but so far I haven't lost any coolant)

Also lists make me feel organized (even though I'm not lol) and keep me from dicking around doing other stuff.
OEM axle seals or NAPA? I hate Rosenthal shipping charges.

not wanting to search right now, didnt you have the head off when you painted the block? or am i remembering wrong?
trying to determine if just old HG that didnt like boost, or if maybe something isnt smooth enough on the block or head surface (assuming MLS of course)

Maybe adding the oil feed moved more oil in that galley or something? I think its external only though.

Would be my first hg job. Once all my fasteners get here and I make a downpipe brace I will probably pull everything.
I should be good to drive it as long as the oil is kept topped off?
