Are you planning the oil port modification on the 2g head? I've been planning doing the 2g head on my 1g as well. But am on the fence as everything is working fine with the car. Otherwise good luck with this project!

I'm not sure yet to be honest, I'll have to look more into it. I can't remember what it is for.

I still have to drill out the head stud holes and get it cleaned up, so I have plenty of time to figure it out.

It was to make sure the head gets sufficient oiling... the two posts on 'tooners:

Seems like a good thing to eliminate lifter tick, but it seems a guy would be filling catch cans pretty quickly with all that oil in the head. I wonder how it would work in conjunction with a Kiggly HLA, or if it would eliminate the purpose.

yep, the extra oil in the head if it was milled out too much, is why I'm on the fence. I'm thinking just a 3g lifter set and maybe cleaning up / polishing that oil feed area.

Snow is almost all gone now thanks to the rain we got the other day, so I went out in the mud and got a little bit of work done.

Decided I'm not going to have A/C, not real important since it's not like it's a daily and I'm going for the whole lightweight thing.

I also ripped the nasty firewall padding off, and replaced the sweet Vatozone wiper nozzles with stock ones, but I didn't get any pictures. Hopefully in the next few weekends here it will warm up enough to get the car pulled onto the driveway and pressure wash everything. I also need to get a hoist for like 5 minutes so I can put my engine on the stand and finally tear into that.
