^good shit man....

16 gauge sheetmetal is to thin for effective blockoff plates. 1/8 inch aluminum is cutting it close for some of the plates, best advise is to just man up and get a 1 foot x 1 foot square of 1/4 inch aluminum stock for anyone contemplating building block off plates.... and some gasket paper, cuz RTV is really starting to piss me off! With that said, i re made some block off plates last night (while it poured on me) to help eliminate the massive vacuum leaks and the running quality continues to sound better after every fix. Hopefully all the plates are good to go now (tho i will be rebuilding some of them here shortly anyways, for peace of mind). I now need a T2 UIM to LIM gasket to fix another leak i think i found.... And i will drive the car (once running) to Proven Power with no BOV! Let me say that again... DRIVING WITHOUT A BOV! the 3rd gen POS BOV i have set up is constantly venting. AND FSM for the lose! Limited information at best.... no indication of what timing actually should be other than, line up the yellow marks... yeah no shit jack ass! BTW, anyone know the stock timing for a T2? I seem to be having a hell of a time finding it
