Had a little coolant leak from the neck, but it was my bad with a clamp that was just a tad too big.
Still have quite a grin that it fired on the FIRST rotation.
So far no leaks from power steering/brake lines, fuel lines nice and dry. Gotta do a little more wiring to get gauges functional and the fan working. Close to go cart for sure!

Sounds great. I got a chance to admire Rian’s build in person today. Holy smokes it is clean and I stole like four ideas just looking at it. I’m totally amazed at the caliber of people and the wide mad streak of talent I see in every build I get a chance to look at. Special day! Congrats buddy!
