^^^Yay!!!!!
Ok, stupid question time. Today I failed at installing the sandwich plate and the oil pressure sensor. First, no matter how tight I wrenched the sensor the ******* will leak. Second, I could not get the gauge to work-wiring wise. I followed the instructions, ground, 12V source, to and from sensor, as matter of fact I used the same 12v and ground that I use for my WB, and it did not work. Comments?? Suggestion??

K, pics.
Pretty much all welded up except the turbo flange which is the easiest part to weld.
My buddy showed up and started talking **** about my welds so I told him to stfu and show me what he could do. I thought i'd call his bluff but omg, these are amazing. Never seen someone make a mig weld look like a tig weld.
And got an action shot of him.

He turned up the wire a bit but its all in his Torch control. I finished up the manifold today by welding on the turbo flange and practiced some of the stuff he taught me. It came out OK but not as pretty as his welds. He did teach me how to tie my beads in together better. Its all about heating up the wire in front of the end of your last bead, then moving back over it to tie it in before continuing the new bead. Hard to explain, easier to see done. His tie-ins are almost perfect.
