a bit of stuff has happened, IÆll C&P the relevant, and the pics.

Finished the intermediate plate, made the intermediate block that clears the oil pump shaft, trimmed the longest side rail to final size, and got everything drilled and tapped to hold it all together.

This was this past tuesday.





This past Wednesday


Drilling the mounting holes in the drivers side pan rail.




Machine was on the fritz yesterday(Thursday), so I probed out the t-stat housing to get the needed dimensions to make a new one that won't interfere with the grand plan to raise up the A/C compressor.

Got the machine going again today, turned out to be a backup battery that was just dead enough to cause issues, but not dead enough to trip the "low battery" alarm...


Pass side pan rail in the fixture, after counterboring. Decided to do it in the CNC once I remembered where the 3" long 5/16 endmill was. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />




Need to face .04" off the inside of the rear main seal block in order to get it all to fit the way I want it to, still drill and counterbore the other 2 holes, then deck the bottom surface down nice and even.

Getting there...
