I hope its just the picture... but did you turbo charge the crankcase...lol

looks like the crankcase vent on the valve cover is going into the charge pipe

kwin507 that's a nice swap!! But why does the motor looks tilted? Is that normal? & what's the difference between the series I & series II?

thanks it would look a lot better with a greddy style mani. but yes all of the motors are slanted check the ka24de in the car when you have the chance its slanted also. Really looking at the series I and II the only thing i saw different was the elimination of the ignitor and the II would be a newer motor with less miles
