    If this sucker seals this will be the first built engine in the USA (that I have heard of) with Pyramid Rings to seal. I am praying for you man!

    That turbo looks sooooo darn good! I do see that you have an OBDII valve cover. Is it plastic? If it is, you might want to switch to the OBDI metal one before you have a melt and then some oil on the turbine housing/DP and then a fire. Just looking out for you man!

    I don't have my turbo nearly on top of my valve cover like that and it started melting to a near leak phase before I caught it and switched to a metal valve cover. Guys at the shop were sketch saying it could have been a fire waiting to happen.

    How did you arise at that particular number? Did you cut the groove yourself or have the machine shop do it?

    I used to work at a machine shop a few years back,and one of my good friends owns a machine shop,so i did it there before taking the block back home.(i guess you can say i did it at the machine shop).And, i got that number by measuring the depth of the groove cut for the o-ring and taking the wire size .041 and subtracting .029 groove depth wich leaves .012 protrusion above deck.
