Great to see you are back working in it, you could definitely sell those covers !!!!

What are you planning for brakes without vacuum? Using the Audi pump with a switch and reservoir or doing a hydro boost?

So I have everything for the motor cleaned up and ready to go back together, hoping to have it pretty much assembled over the next couple of days.

Match balancing the flywheel

Injectors cleaned

Looking at swapping an na OM617 into my singlecab short bed 91 s10 so I greatly appreciate your updates and dedication to this project and hope to hear more about how it's turned out.
