excellent, i was going to ask for an update.... and here it is
BTW:
make sure before putting motor back in, replace the O-Ring on the bits on the left bottom corner of that shot (the PCV and the blank plate), you will have to pop the valve cover off as they lip under it. i use silicone rings and they take much longer to leak then the rubber (worth extra coin once you do one of these while motor is on the car)
also in the same area, between the heads, you will have a small coolant hose that is also have a 'soft metal' Y-Connector... the little rubber hose (from Y-Connector and the manifold) bursts and Y-Connector corrodes... what i did is replaced the whole lot, made the small hose longer (easier to maneuver if it will once again blows) and replaced the crappy Y-Connector with a brass T-Connector (couldn't find Y at the time)
