WRENCH WKND ☑️

Well the Spectro Racing team wrench wknd was full of good times & some struggle! We got the Lightning’s engine a bit further along from how we got it. First and foremost we used a torque wrench to spin the crank and the engine moved freely 🙌🏼

☑️ Vacuum lines reconnected
☑️ Wiring & starter hooked up
☑️ Fuel replaced + fuel system cleaner
☑️ Cooling systems reconnected & flushed
☑️ New Oil Cooler and Filter connected
☑️ New Oil Flushed
☑️ New Battery

Next Up + Challenges:

➡️ Figure out PATs issue
➡️ Reconnect headers with new stud kit and gaskets (FML)
➡️ Reconnect fuel lines to fuel rails

We’d say we are close! Wish us luck!
