We are currently in the process of a system install. Tomorrow the mounting plate will be cut and painted. The amp is just a 100x4 so not real big, so picture the inside spare tire mount... plate will mount on the lower supports spanning them and the amp will mount to the plate, vibration isolated with rubber feet. Semi hidden, full air flow. Planning on draping similar carpet over the top brackets to hide it a little once done... if it can be seen easily. The LoPro 1200 watt sub will be mounted vertically on the passenger side in the back opposite of the spare on custom brackets. It's black and won't be seen well thought the tint. The amp on the other hand is Brite white. We'll see when done. Cheers. Thanks for everyone who contributes. Any suggestions on getting the speaker wire to the front doors? Passenger side has played out to be difficult. Also, best spot for breaching the firewall with power wires? AKMIKE

I love that song. Well, not the story behind it.... but oh my goodness, crank that up.

Timing cover is good. It's just the brittle rubber washer that was damaged. I have a good replacement. Valves look good! Only 177k on Julian, so he should be good for a while. I'm putting it back together asap after KS comes in and I find a hose.

try this again... All this info is great, however it's missing one thing... there one small bolt that threads through timing cover housing flange that also threads into the coolant elbow at the front of the intake. To get to this bolt, I had to also remove the tensioning pulley mounting plate. Once that is all done, viola. Intake manifold comes right off. I might have damaged the timing cover in this process. TBD. Anyway all is good now just waiting for the KS and need to find the hose for that elbow too, it's toast, aged and I'm not trusting it to go back on. Thanks all. Cheers.
