How old is the old gas? I thought your car has only been down like 5-6 months?? If so I would not worry about it. I have used gas that is voer a year old with no issues. If you have to break in the motor you will not be doing WOT pulls so should not be a problem. Engine looks nice. Where did you get that oil cap? Does it fit well?

lookn amazing man! bolt covers and oil cap really look good.
i suggest taking some carb spray and wiping that top throttle cable (for the cruize control?) or whatever is it thats silver and turn it back to black.
im also assuming you'll be cleaning some more, but DAYYYM the coolant res. needs some help!
Riddle me this... riddle me that...
yeah guys i know i got more cleaning to do I guess I should have mentioned that. I plan to get the carbon fiber coolent resvoir cover thingy so that takes care of that. As for the cables yeah i'll spray them. ...and as for the manifold well I got lazy and it shows.....sorry. But yeah the oil cap fits perfect.
now for the gas Im not sure how long but im guessing about almost a year. But everyone is telling me to remove the gas tank and clean it.

where did u get that oil cap? i checked the pepboys where i live and they only had the ones that said Ford ONLY and Honda ONLY, at that time atleast. or could some of them work for our cars?

its for hondas but it fits the LD9

gas will be fine mine sat for lil over a year and was fine.
what about the water or condension and moisture that develops in the bottom of the tank? I just dont want to crap out at the end

i have bolt covers on my engine, all they are are just harley davidson motorcycle covers from a shop.
lookin good man ! glad you got it in..now we need to see it RUN
...by the way, u need to get your intake and alt to look like THIS to compliment that bay
well yesterday I polished up the intake manifold some more espeacially the belly side. What did you do to your intake?

Thats because it is an 100% copy of it....out of a softer aluminum.
Watch for where here...as pictured.

mike - i know that cant be a good thing, but is it a major issue??
both of my rsm pullies have that same groove in them...
Riddle me this... riddle me that...
Well I hard coated all my pulleys to help prevent the phenomenon.
Brad you might need to replace your front seal in the timing cover where the pulley slides through. It seems to be only a concern with older cars with old dry seals. Everyone that has replaced the seal has had little wear, and if it was leaking....has stopped the leak. Eric "97cavie24ls(™)" brought this up a LONG time ago on an APEX pulley when Kevin Hopp "wildweasel" and I started designing the LD9 cranks back in.....05'.
The entire reason my pulleys are hard coated it to help prevent the wear from happening. The added chemical resistance and good looks is just a bonus.

color me lost but wouldnt having something HARD in there make the seal weaker? maybe its been to long since ive seen this particular seal. the stock pulley doesnt become grooved because its steel and hard, but then you put the aluminum pulley on there and it gets the groove in it. so... by actually having the groove in the pulley it in turn causes the leak? or should the reason the pulley getting grooved be causing the leak ie hard seal?
i have had a mysterious oil leak ever since i installed the first pulley though... its not really wet on that side of the engine though, more so near the driver side as if the drain plug was leaking, but its not.
Riddle me this... riddle me that...
ya gonna keep her all motor or are u thinking of boost in the future?

the intake is silver powdercoat and the alt is ceramic coat

No, having it hard is fine. The Cast OEM pulley is very hard. The aluminum grooves since it is a hell of a lot softer material. The groove can cause leaks, and the hard older seal can also cause leaks.
No idea on your leak.
DOHC I still love the blue!

WTF is up with your metal coolant line in the back. I can't think of any good reason it should look like that.
