I would be checking the sump bolts where they bolt to the oil pump to make sure they are the correct length - I bet one of them is too long and was the cause of the timing belt groove.

You are correct, I forgot to update that. I changed the belt last week. One sump bolt was 2mm too long, a 10mm instead of an 8mm. It makes all the world of difference.

More finish sanding, some filler primer over the putty.

The gun started to goop up so I stopped at two coats for now. I think three will do.

Believe it or not I'm using Duplicolor Paint shop paints. The stuff works really nice, it's all pre thinned and ready to shoot.

JDM RS intercooler installed, Hallman MBC and a conservative 15psi. This car is a blast.

My dad and I installed a new compressor, new condenser, all new o-rings. Converted it to r134a and charged it up. Blows nice and cold now.

Quoting G:

Oh yeah, I figured that out. New T-belt and shorter bolts.
