I can hack some **** together but damn. That's uglier than homemade sin. And it doesn't fit very well.

Good thing that coolant pressure sensor is there. Wouldn’t want to risk a failure

Looks like you need a more impressive ziptie collection

The welds aren't leaking. That is out the cursed water plug.

Replaced it and ran other 5 laps. Going for a 20 minute session next.

Those are technically vacuum caps. Not meant for pressure. Best solution for that area is a piece of tube, a bolt, and 2
of those clamps.

Finished up the half day with a full 20 minute session. Car ran great, had a blast.

Used about half a quart of oil over the 20 minutes, and then found where it went...



Considering a radium aos with drainback. Might save me a lot of oil.

Not happening. It will get parked before an engine gets rebuild right now.

Car was running fine other than the blowby. I already have a drain port on the passenger side of the engine. Can get coolant from the cursed water plug. Seems like an easy solution to just bolt in a good air oil separator. Also will be useful on the next motor I put in.
