Valve cover and crank pully looks purdy... what'd you do to the innerds? The EGR bung looks familiar, but I can' t name that header. That water pump housing looks like the engine was either sitting for a while or severely ill-maintained.

Gotta give us some more info!

header wrap? bleh to header wrap, it's not as effective as ceramic coating the inside, and it causes the metal to fatigue and crack. ceramic coatings don't even let the heat get to the metal, header wrap keeps the heat in the metal.

hey nissan_2fourty,

what make are your headers? are tha NO.1 and NO.4 primaries connected together?....that header is really cool though.....with that type of connection do you get any good results with that type header design?.....never ever seen one of that type design.

The headers I have on there are Obx Racing just off of ebay! I really hope they perform well. But I haven't got the motor in yet so I don't know how they perform. I also plan on getting the timing chain covers podercoated too. I haven't done anything internally yet b/c I don't have the money right now but I will sometime in the future! Thanx for the feedback
