Little bit more updates, no video.
All the hard lines, and fuel hard lines are made & installed.
I've also made a custom bracket for the Coolant reroute hose.

What coolant reroute is that? I kind of like the cast fitting on the back of the head and how it makes the thermostat accessible.

I dig your build and your videos. I'm rebuilding a VVT engine for my '90 so they've been helpful and entertaining.

Thanks. Interesting that it's designed for the 1.6 but doesn't look too hard to adapt to a 1.8.

It's a 1.6 reroute kit, I had to shave a few area to make it work. But, it fits.

Finally the weather is getting a bit nicer outside. On this video I've installed a RX-7 Diff cover into a Miata. No modification is needed, everything is plug and play.

### UPDATE ###
I realize i've put the bushing upside down. I've fix it but, just wanted to let everyone know.
