I don't believe the WOT-Tech ones that he has are from TCE/BCC unless something has changed between the two of them because Ben wasn't selling any of his parts for a while.

Tear down of the old engine began today, Tyler checked over the cam and it looks like we'll be re-using it as well, no scoring!

My updates recently have been few and far between, also a little scattered. Going through engine swaps on two cars at once, and with the parts being on back order for this for so long and Tyler having very little time to work on the car, it's been a bit crazy!

However... I picked up some "new" parts for the car off of Shawn since he's going through a move to a new house and he's getting rid of most of his old stockpile... I picked these up a while ago, but keep forgetting to post them!

If you've never used the Turtle Wax lens restorer... You need to pick some up. Before and after!

These have the standard housings behind them too, so I still get the four reverse lamps and the side markers!

LOL I've used wax, wheel polish and lexan window polish. All seem to work well for the job. That 303 Aerospace protectant works very well to make them shiny and keep the UV off. It just doesn't last too long in the rain. Damn good stuff for weatherstrip.

This is the kit I used... I let the sealer set on the lenses for a while, then wiped the residue off.

The best example of how the kit works is on my dad's '96 F150. If you've ever seen one of these, they are known for having one the worst cases of hazed yellowing headlights. I can't believe how well it worked on it!
