Woe, I'm looking for such a tool to hold the crank pulley. Is he willing to make another one to sell to me? I got $20 too

I'm not sure if the ITR crank pulley and the S2K pulley are the same or not.

***
The coolant pump and charge-cooler rad just went in:

All brass fitting threads were "siliconed" in for insurance against leaks. Tested the motor, works fine, left the two hoses in the engine bay capped for now.

Coolant reservoir tank also installed:


Bumper was quite easy to remove except for the last part where you're supposed to PULL LIKE CRAZY on each side to dislodge the 3 clips. Not knowing how the clips worked, I was a bit cautious. Once it's off, you can see that they are just little "bumps" of plastic that slot into their matching gaps in the bumper cap. Slipping a thin screw driver into each bump helps them to come free.

Next up:
Putting together the jigsaw puzzle that is the S/C & its holding bracket.

Do you have any photos of the front oil cooler mounting brackets. They sent me several and they are all different. How did you do yours?
