On Thursday i found out my valve cover is cracked badly. I thought it was some uneven paint chips before, but i started noticing oil gathering open in the corners so i took a closer look and found the "paint chips" where really some deep cracks. I picked up a new valve cover this morning from a guy off craigslist. Its a 4g63 Hundai valve cover lol. But i'll eventually shave it down... got no pics since my camera fell outa my pocket in my friends car.

Also, i finally got my upper o2 sensor out after it was seized and it widened the socket. had to weld the socket onto the old o2 sensor in so it would be tighter. After a few minutes of pulling/ punching/ hammering/ drop kicking that shit, it broke free and luckily, nothing broke and the threads stayed perfect. Then i finally Tightened in the new o2 sensor. Also, i got an area of my exhaust welded together where it was leaking right before the downstream o2 sensor. Now its ready for round 3 emission testing on monday. Wish me luck (again) haha. im so tired of my stock exhaust. i cant wait til i get to rock the full 3" set up again...
