In this episode I decided to pull the engine after discovering I had failed to repair my front cover o-ring properly, resulting in unsettling the front stack of the engine. This ends up becoming more of a blessing in disguise as I discover other alarming issues such as oil leaks, vacuum leaks, and much more. It also gave me time to improve on certain aspects of the car, for example, the exhaust which had an extremely long downpipe section and was incredibly way too loud for my liking despite a resonator and muffler being added.
