grinding that spot down on the housing took me about half an hour to get it to where it was useable, also grinding down the front iron so i could fit the S5 waterpoump on was somewhat of a bitch as well, but with a little paitence it was done very easily.
i just hope i can get my engine running on monday when my KOYO rad. comes in, i think i've only been working on my car for about the past month, so i pray nothing else more goes wrong. lol

i didnt grind anything away the front iron
also it doesnt look like the dome shaped thing sticks out, but it goes in. should i build it up with epoxy and grind it flat?
