OOOH... Testify!! Takes a real commitment to keep it looking brand new in the engine compartment after 100,000+ miles!

I think to qualify, the engine in question must have at least 3,000 miles and 6 months on it since rebuild. That's a better apples-to-apples comparison.

The pictures were obviously taken at two different stages of evolution (reference the air box, sticker, paint, etc). I'm curious about that hard metal direct pipe you're running - what is that? How did you filter the intake air? Doesn't really show in that top picture - looks like an interesting idea though. . .

indeed it does, doesn't get too dirty as it sits, but you can't take the engine stand out for a drive on a windy road?.
