sorry to be the downer of the thread but is hylomar the only thing you used to seal the legs to the irons? it may seal for a little while but it isn't actually meant to be a sealer.

looks good aside from that which caught my eye.

Hi Karack, I made that recommendation to him. Search up on Google for Hylomar and have a read on it. It's pretty interesting stuff. I've been using Hylomar for these builds since the very first one I ever did in June of 1998. In short, it works. It won't leak. It's completely impervious to oil, gasoline, and a number of other chemicals. It will remain tacky forever and never, ever leak.

From my experience, the hylomar washes away when used in the coolant system. Never tried it in the oil system, and with no real pressure going on there, it'll be alright I'd say. I personally use a drying style sealant there.

Oh you're gonna die cartmill, remember I can close your thread

Anyways, I'm going to sleep, try not to get too "chatty" or whatever in this thread otherwise it'll get moved like your other ones.

Yah yah, keep it like that instead of talking about guys named Drew with pierced tongues. For some reason you have a fascination with this, makes me wonder
