    Got suckered into buying one of these cameras on the Facebook ad for like 8 bucks.
    Everytime you push a button you get an ad to buy their software6 so you can use all the features.
    Handy tool though!
    It's really easy to look inside the engine.
    Made sure I installed the oil pump / pickup 20180606_195321.jpg

    Only through fibre optics...:D...hanging around this place gives me digital opportunities to hopefully help you fellas with your vision moving forward. Can be a challenge getting things right too.

    My manifold is partially polished and aluminum looks great polished. Perhaps polishing the tops of the ribs and leaving the other surfaces with the bead blasted look...the tubes have plenty of pizzazz already. If you polish the tops of the ribs will you even see it?

    A full polish of the manifold is quite the undertaking but doable...I'm sure theres threads on it here...I received mine as is so someone else did the man hours and it looks cool. I remember a Hamber here many years ago a did a detailed thread on polishing axles and wow they were pretty awesome. I use Mag/Aluminum polish and it has some form of reaction with the aluminum and the results are favorable. I actually like the polished but left for a while look the most.

    O2 bung ( like to know what's going on)
    Try to squeeze every inch, messed up the mating surface, added some more weld, grinded flat, done.
    Best way to learn is to screw things up!
