Not to go OT, but they pulled her gallbladder out with the largest of multiple stones being bigger than a golfball. She did not respond well to being put under, and we had a rough couple days in the hospital. She did the whole day after the surgery without meds b/c her bloodpressure dropped dangerously low.

I installed a new pilot bearing  
Spec p-trim twin setup  
Spec flywheel  
New slave/tob  
John Donovan welded in a -12 oil return line  
Installed -4 feed

Old slave wouldn’t go flush messing up my air gap, after removal and tapping the inside ring I got it to giving me a proper air gap for clutch install with no shim. However I didn’t like that I had to beat on the inside and replaced it for a new one. Sorry didn’t take pics of the clutch install process.
