its supposed to look like this, this is the material i drilled out. the one that came with the car: the walls fell apart and it fell down to the bottom and started rounding it self out. began clogging up the manifold...

thank you very much for your compliments, i am doing all that i can to make it as clean as possible. it'll be on the road soon..me and my father decided to drive it around for a bit then do the check again because we think the clog in the exhaust may have deposited excessive carbon onto the exhaust valves or something like that, so drive it for a bit then do a compression test again.

wowww, so its been a while...latest update as of today, no oil leaks...but i am burning coolant. The head or the block might be warped or cracked. burning thru a gallon of coolant about every 2-3 months so not a bad leak at all.

The extra 10 hp is a nice touch.
