Nice detail Ray.

Thank you I did a lot better this time fixing stuff that I should of addressed before. Brake lines with more practice but it is cleaner. Wiring is all that is needed, I'm doing the ecumasters.com PDM and all new plugs and blah blah blah. I think this engine will do good.

Well the watermelon wagon engine bay version 2. I know I know it could of been cleaner, its the best I can do. I changed some things to be cleaner.

 

MAP sensor in cab now

Header was installed this time with steering box out as it won't go in with it in. It was scratched up pretty good.

Routed both engine and valve cover vents to catch can

Pulled all the coil brackets off and cleaned it up by mounting vertical and shorter wires.

Of course went back to a little red under the hood

All new wire harness

Most all nuts and bolts that were not changed out now are

Re did the brake lines again, not the best but way better.

These items are to just to name a few.

You're kidding right?  "I know I know it could of been cleaner"

 

Your engine bay is fabulous looking and you do great work!

 

I decided not to do a restoration on mine, just clean up and leave it stock - well except for the VG33. 🙂

Ray, I need you to work for me. I can't pay much, but I'd love to get someone with your eye for detail. So many guys talk up their game, but then suck donkey ass. Your work is über clean.

Brother thank you for the compliments, I try my best and although not perfect by a long shot I think if you wrap the package up right and put a good nice bow it will look good. Also the colors this wagon is so something I would of never done with he red and green, b ut it just worked and it seems to draw people to like it as well.

Thanks, it runs great and I love the V6, it's a wagon so not moving the battery, eventually I will probably get an Odyssey PC680.

Make a box and mount under battery like I did. Joel made the box for his wagon and then made me one. Right under the passenger side back seat.

Cool.  It is supposed to help stop the engine from rolling or twisting?
