How? The VC to head is a flat on flat mating surface at level with where oil probably pools during operation, and doesn't the VC have like 4 fasteners? IDK why they decided that was the way to go, but it seems like a design fault.
Still waiting on the CatOTM...

that was a great feature for May Car of the Month... oh wait... nm
The e30 is also looking good too. Excited to take it up to Monterey for Car Week. Surprisingly, not a lot of e30s up there that week.

The Ranger is looking good.. Been getting a lot of compliments on it too recently, especially out in the desert.
I don't remember if I mentioned, but I'll be adding a hydraulic rear handbrake to help with some hill ascents.. and to do stupid shit w.

Picked up some 'bucket' seats from a 2000 Ford Explorer.
Driver's seat is fully powered. Got them for 30 bucks and they were pretty beat.
My trucks interior now is grey, but I'll be swapping the dash and panels for brown ones to match the new leather.
Super happy with how they turned out..

Also, the 302 is gone, but I'm picking up the engines replacement this week and it's not American.... .....it's..... German
I'm sure one of you guys could guess what it isLeave a comment:

HVAC and OBC 'rebuild' is all done.
Also, added a 350mm sparco wheel which is the best mod to compliment the Z3 rack. No where near as twitchy and the wheel is much closer to me. I'm 6'1 so i got the seat back pretty far so those tight turns with the big MT1 wheel was not fun.

It's hard to see the cluster now with this wheel.. But still worth.

The Ranger got a small upgrade as well. The truck didn't come with a tach from the factory, but was optioned on the 6 cylinders and some 4 cylinder trucks. They're all plug and play even between different engines. My fuel gauge took a shit, so It was time to upgrade.
Having a manual truck with no tach, was super lame. Loving the look of the tach cluster layout.
This is what my interior endures after driving around in the desert for a couple days lol

The truck did great this weekend.
I averaged about 21-22 MPG going uphill and eventually up the mountain fully loaded, maybe ~300 lbs and an extra person. I'm really enjoying the 4 banger rn. Especially w the gas prices rn.
Woke up one morning out in the desert with a flat... Full sized spare ftw.. Ended up blowing a valve stem.. drove into town and got it fixed. Other than that the Ranger did what it needed to do.
