97 gsx build

[97gsexx]

Been really busy with work so I haven't had much time to work on it. I received my oem front case oil pump with gears, ss clutch line, itm water pump, and timing belt in mail this weekend. I assembled the front case and was about to put it on when I realized I had the wrong front case/block gasket. Apparently the guy that I bought the itm gasket set from thought it was a 6 bolt gasket set. Apparently not. Heading to Brookdale tonight to grab front case/block gasket and castle plug w/ oring.

I just traded a guy a 7 bolt valve cover for a black top cas so that should be here tomorrow. I came to the conclusion that I will not be attending pg this weekend, and instead I am going to finish assembling the block & head. Also going to remove actuator & flapper from the 20g and port the flapper hole to match the PR o2 housing. If i receive the arp washers this weekend I will bolt my head on as well. Hoping to make a lot of progress this weekend.

I will include updates with pics
