Thumbs up GXLII:Update on engine rebuild

Hello all, and welcome to my never-ending saga of the GXLII engine rebuild! Well, we last left off at the car smoking like a paper-mill due to bad oil seals in the front rotor, so, after pulling the engine, yet again, and tearing it apart yet again, low and behold, one inner seal was torn in two places, and one outer seal was crushed in one place, hurrah my problem was found! After closer inspection, we came accross a crushed thrust bearing (Doh, another delay!) So after the good news of finding the oil problem, it's back to waiting for parts (thrust bearing) and then back together it will go, and hopefully I'll finally get to log some more miles on my GXL monstrocity! (I currently have only driven the damn car 1 mile since I've owned it) Wish me luck! Oh, and if anyone happens to have a series 5 boost sensor, or know's if a series 4 boost sensor will work in a series 5 and is selling one and can ship quickly, let me know
