Nice project Im having issues with front cover o ring engine fc s4 with 12a cover when I buy the engine I bulive it was the Teflon on it anyway I use 12a gasket with o ring it blow it up I use o ring without gasket it work for a while into i found it in the oil filter pedestal so im by to take it apart again do you know if i can use the metal gasket ?
Measure the front cover oring recess, take the measurements to a machine shop and have them make you a metal insert (.001 smaller than total diameter and .001 thicker than depth, this will make it a crush washer. From there you can use an 04-08 RX-8 metal front cover gasket which also includes the water pump gasket
Trick suspension. Def gonna look into it. Build is coming out sweet
