Thanks for the tip, I put the silicone tube without the lip and it does seem to fit better, I will run the engine and see how it runs. I was having issues with the original seal with lip that came with the engine.

Thanks again, Jason.

ATleast you get to break in yours....mine is still sitting in the car awaiting its break in. Also, need new bearings for the clutch bell as well (not the thrust bearings).

What happened with your bearings? are they going bad?

Thanks Jason.

Use OFNA 51997 exhaust gasket for nova based header.

Michael,
There is nothing special when changing crankcases, the JL2 and the JL EVO 3 had the same crankcase, I did not understand regarding your question about the metal shaving, on the piston ?

How was the Nats? I called your shop, but you and your team was at the race. How did your drivers end up?

Thanks Jason.
