Was the sealant just on the bolts?
But yes doing the reroute with the head on the car is a royal PITA and makes me hate life. It took me something like 6+ months to fix a leak there just because I was so upset with it.

So, this has somehow taken a very different direction. I've installed the kit and chatted quite a few times with Jan from SPS Motorsport whenever I ran into small issues or when I needed parts aso. We talked about different ideas which led to my car now sitting in their workshop and getting a fully built engine and a proper roll cage. Jan has send me a few pictures of the first steps building the cage. I'll get some pics of the engine build today or tomorrow. On Saturday, I'll stop by at the shop to check the final seat position and to get the latest updates.

Update:
Cage is finished, built to FIA / DMSB specs.
Engine is assembled too. K1 Rods, Wiseco 9:1 Pistons, Boundary oilpump, Cometic headgasket, rebuild head, aso... Some more changes have been made after these photos have been taken (COPs, heatshield , aso.). Also, we've switched over to a ME221 ECU, instead of the MS pnp 2. Today it's going on the dyno, fingers crossed!
