I've been too busy to really go out and find a spot to do a photoshoot. She'* running great, just need to change the valve cover seals (getting a small amount of oil seeping into a few spark plug wells). Gonna start saving up so I can powder coat the wheels black and put the Corsa exhaust on it.

Changed the valve cover gaskets this weekend. What a job.
This dang thing gets in your way for the back (think it'* an EGR valve or something)
And then I find out the water pump is driven off the cam. Had to go buy a power steering pump puller to get the pulley off before I could get the valve cover off.
And here is what the lovely DOHC looks like in a Northstar

Ugh, I never was fond of DOHC'*. So much to go wrong when one little link ***** itself.

Posts like a Northstar
Ah I love that DOHC..someday when and if I get enough money I want to completely rebuild a N*...call me crazy, but there is just something about that motor that fascinates me. The sound it makes stock is almost as addictive as the */c whine.
