In todays episode of MPG I go through and fill the cooling system along with testing for leaks. I also replace the sway bar end links along with getting the exhaust to a good point.

Looking great, won't be long till you can take it for a run!

Congrats on the maiden start! Looking forward to future videos.

Perfect exhaust music. No need to do anything else to the exhaust 😂😊

[@misplacedgarage]

It’s a tad loud for my taste lol. At least open header on a 4 cylinder that is haha.

[@geoffburrill9850]

Just an exhaust and prop shaft and you can drive it. Looking forward to it.

[@misplacedgarage]

A few more small bits and pieces too but that’s about it! Thanks for following along!

[@nickyalousakis3851]

did you manage to close the hood without cutting a hole? it looks like you did. cool

[@misplacedgarage]

I did indeed! No hole but the hood does touch the top of the motor.

You might want to look at your airflow meter mounting. I have never seen an OEM mount one of these that wasn't oriented such that the black plastic semi circular (visible pointing towards the driver's side in your video) cover was horizontal. I suspect this is because mounting it in that orientation makes gravity have no effect on the mechanism (the swinging door inside ... thus the name "moving vane airflow meter"), and thus the sensor reading. The way you have yours mounted, gravity is either going to make it run rich or lean ... I think rich.

[@misplacedgarage]

That is definitely something I’ll look into, I didn’t consider that. The little door inside seems like it’s either open or closed even at idle. But I’ll Investigate Forsure!
