Are you running a catch can off of both valve covers?

Yep, my new engine builder recommended it and not why you think. It's a matter of crank case air speed. One vent would evacuate the system but the air speed is higher and will carry more oil vapor. I didn't have any issues with the old setup but I only road raced it once. I'd rather it was over kill if anything.

What do you use as a sealer? Matt finish clear?

Ya, I'm a little out of space. It's hard to believe how much crap fits on these cars.

What's the status on the engine? Is it being built?

What oil pan will you be using?
