Message	You're coming along nicely, I've been trolling on your progress for a while. Please go ahead and fix that Exhaust cover issue now. On my new build I was getting initial oil pressures of 90+lbs, especially when its cold outside. (not that this is a highly pressurized area of the motor), but it does look like you're perparing for the PCV re-route. The use of the RTV in the application of the exhaust valve covers with the additional stock placement of the PCVs leads me to believe that there is more pressure from "blow-by" than in the intake V-covers. I'm probably WAY wrong on this, but it is a forum and this is my $.02 FWIW. The general ease of this while the engine is out as well as the peace of mind is a "no brainer" Gotta....Have....More.....Boost!!!!!!
