Another late day at work. Not much accomplished. I did install the knock sensor harness and applied the required sealant on the grommets for the knock sensors. Cleaned up and organized my tools for the final push. My plan is for first start on Saturday. I'm off on Friday so it should be doable.

The tape i used to protect the intake opening did not come off easily. 2. What a PITA torquing the back 4 bolts (two waves 44 inch/pounds and the 89 inch/pounds.
