Default New Engine Pics

Since I had to add a vacuum system on Jens car, due to high crankcase pressures, I decided to dress up the engine bay a bit. I still need to do a lot to it to make it look how I would like. So I added the Mr. Gasket Evac-system, GMPP Cast Valve Covers, Taylor (blue, Jen's choice ) spark plug wires and separators, and relocated the coils under the cowl. I also cleaned up the harness for the injectors, rerouted then behind the fuel rails for a cleaner look. What do you guys think (click on images to see larger pics)?

A LOT! The passenger's side was soaked with oil coming out of the OEM valve cover, it would just spray the heck on to the radiator. It got so bad that the valve covers started to leak as well. This "should" cure it ... I hope. I kind of tested it and no leaks so far.

Bad rings will also cause the motor to eat a lot of oil. Do a compression and leak down test.
