Proper machining would involve measuring the crank beforehand. I spoke with a couple of other knowledgeable individuals as well who echoed Kevin's concerns.

Anyone have additional thoughts on the matter?
You are supposed to check the clearance before the install. They are machined tight. They are beneficial to us due to the fact that our oil pumps run straight off the crank. Any vibration or harmonics you can remove from the oil pump gears is a positive.

That's the issue. He checked the clearance. It was tight. Then installation was a PITA.

Think I had about 0.0005" clearance. Warmed mine up in the oven at 150F for 30 minutes. Torquing it was a PITA!

I didn't have any issues with the install of my first ATI damper.

I was recovering from arm surgery at that time too.

OK so the SuckerPunch oil pump gears are almost complete - hopefully by the end of the month. Trying to get everything lined up for the work I'm gonna have Kevin do inside the front timing cover.

Thinking it would be worth replacing the water pump while in there. Anyone else agree? Any other parts I should consider?

Replace all belts and the water pump. You car has been sitting for awhile!

I was looking at fuel injectors... wtf is this $150 apiece crap?

Found a couple of used sets for ~$100. Figured I'd get them cleaned and flow tested first at a cost of about $18 each.
Or does it make more sense to just send mine in for cleaning and testing?

I would just send yours and go form there. No need of getting new or different if yours are fine.

I didn't empty the fuel tank and it's been sitting for over a year. So I'm fully expecting them to be clogged. Trying to decide whether to mess with them before the engine work or after.

Do it now!!! That way you are good to go when the engine is done.

I’d call Phunk and see if he has a stock set sitting around. Maybe he’d send them off to get flow matched/cleaned up and when you receive them they are good to go.

Anyone have any thoughts on the dirt pattern in these pics? Do the spots that look cleaner indicate anything concerning? Seems like there is some oil residue. The darker spot on the RH side is where I rubbed my finger.

Looks like where the throttle bodies come over the valve cover. I wouldn't be worried about it. You just got a couple of clean spots.

I did the TB coolant delete a number of years back. I suppose it could be from the little bit of coolant that spilled out of the lines when I disconnected them. The driver side leaked quite a bit and then I used a towel to help capture spillage on the passenger side.
