Some quick updates -

1. A couple of weeks ago, I was on my way to work and the Saleen started smoking like a freight train! I got to work (only 2 miles away) and found my Turbo Drain Pump had stopped working. This pump is needed as my turbos are mounted low behind the front bumper, and the oil needs to be pumped back to the oil pan. When the pump stopped working, the oil backed up into the turbos and basically overflowed into the exhaust.

Got a replacement pump installed and problem solved.


2. My intake gaskets had a very small leak/seep that would cause the rear spark plugs (#3 and #4) to get water in them and cause a misfire.

I removed the upper intake and replaced the gaskets with new ones to solve the problem.


3. While my intake was off, I figured it was a good time to do some underhood touch ups.

I had the intake polished and lower was powder-coated black.
I then had the valve covers (moroso aluminum) powder-coated red.

Should have it back together this week.

Here's a teaser pic -
