Just found the source I what I thought was a valvetrain noise. I was poking around the engine trying to figure out where I was going to mount the MAP sensor for my new electronic boost gauge when I just happened to spin the water pump. I got a distinct "tick" like a gear wrench makes. I popped off the water pump and spun it, no noise. Set it back on the housing, ticks. It appears the tips of the blades are making contact with the timing chain cover. Looks like I need to take a dremel to the tips ever so slightly.
AWESOME... lmao.

Got most of my parts back from the powdercoater today. I also had the headers, y-pipe & downpipe ceramic coated in "turbo black" ceramic. I'll get some pics up tomorrow. Also, I now have a set of stock 2.8 ported & ceramic coated manifolds I'll be selling. Perfect, no cracks, no thread damage etc. I would like to start offering powdercoasted Fiero parts on an exchange basis.

Clutch has shipped, flywheel bolts have shipped. I believe we have about 90% of the parts finished at the powder coating shop. Funny how I always end up getting put to work on my own parts. lol I am getting pretty good at stripping... take what you will from that.

Too bad you didn't just do this yourself from the start. This build could be 30 pages shorter. ------------------

Got a lot done on the car. I just need fluids, mount the turbo, instal the suspension and put in the gauges. ..... I need to whip out my FSM and find out which wire on the C500 is for the TEMP warning light on the dash. I am going to use that to tell me if my w2a system is low on coolant. The reservoir I am using has a 2 wire level sensor.
