Haha sadly not! This was the reason the Ze came out:
Thanks Waspone, I like new things, if it's not new I try to make it look new! The engine stand made me actually want to bother doing it right, don't know why I didn't buy one sooner.

Mark, can you get me a closer pic of your oil pump, the suction area that protrudes? I wanna see what it looks like. Maybe PM me.
BTW, the motor looks awesome!

Haha thanks man, I'm sorry your cams broken too. You'd think between us we'd manage a set!

I don't know how there is so much stress to cause the cams to break like that. Were your bearings worn out/loose?

Thought I should update this!
I'm now running Megasquirt v3 board with coilpacks from a ford cougar
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Shaodome diagnosed my processor was faulty, so everything worked except the RPM input. I got it back, installed, and no problems- MS install is easy when your MS works
The sound is amazing now with no VAF
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
The car is just dying to spin the wheels all through 2nd gear! I was shocked at the extra power, even with a base map. Videos and write up to come.
Here's my new improved IAC
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
, jigsaw+dremel+some scrap alu, thanks to hppwdn for the idea :
I've a few other things on the go too, will update when they're working

Grrrreat!!
I'm jealous you beat me to the coilpacks. I'm going to try COP. I wish I could have afforded the adjustable cam gers
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
For my IAC block-off, I cut an Aluminum can to fit between the IAC, and TB. I'll do mine like yours when I can get ahold of the tools. We need videos of your car doin stuff!
BTW, what did you do about your cam?

New valve cover
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
with no stupid metal pipe at the front for crankcase ventilation, all in my quest for less stupid crap in the engine bay!
I'm also on the straight neck for a while, just experimenting
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Should have some more interesting updates in the coming weeks

I'm running plain ole kl01s, they feel pretty ballsy really! But after driving a k8 for a few weeks that's no surprise.
