I really, really wanted to do both of those things but in the end did neither, as time and funds stipulated that I couldn't. I thought I had a spare one piece shaft but I guess I used it, and I considered replacing the nylon piece since I have some but there just wasn't time. I did use 6 cans of brake cleaner while scrubbing the engine though...
I'm afraid the coming update won't be as impressive as I'd hoped since I had to make many compromises and flat out abandon things I thought I had completely planned out. Every single step I took on Thursday was a struggle and nothing went right at all, probably because I said it would go smoothly. And it was my most productive day of the entire week. Despite the tribulations I managed to get everything together with the exception of the exhaust system, and hope to break in the cam tonight after work. It was too late to run open headers when I finished up last night.
