[Marcos Zortea]

hello again guys, its been a while since i dint post anything... its good to be back, you guys helped me alot on the last years, and I miss all this world...
so here we go again, my last engine didnt survive much, I didnt touch the car for a long time, but now decided build a new engine

The engine specs are:

M50B25TU Block
85mm forged pistons
135mm forged rods
M52B28 crankshaft
KS rod/main bearings
all ARP hardware
head is all stock, just rebuilded

the bottom end is already done, just waiting for the head to assembly everything

I have a question, someone already removed the water plug on the front engine cover?
I dont have water heater lines, already plugged the water port on the back of the head, dont have water on the throttle body, and since the car will have a custom radiador I can do without this hose, since it just came directly from the engine cover to the bottom of the radiator, and is one less hose to leak...
