As of right now, I'm waiting on a new SVT flywheel to arrive. So, until then I need to clean out the LIM & paint it, paint and install the valve covers, timing cover & oil pan. Once all the painted parts are installed, I plan on masking the block and painting it as well. However, I don't want to put masking tape/paper on still curing paint, so the block detailing will not be done until tomorrow night.

I also forgot to get a closeup of the installed stud nuts, so I will add that to tonight's list as well.
