Update on my VX Project

[rtormet]

yep the wire from the battery to the block was super frayed and barely making a connection. Purchased a new battery terminal with pre-installed thick wire and lug.

Took it out on the road for the first time yesterday! Tires rub a bit in turns so i have trimming to do. And exhaust is busted so its super loud. But drives great

[rtormet]

Major exhaust issues - broke on the drive side before they combine. And it sounds like my headers are leaking around where it meets the exhaust. Its loud... BAD loud

Need to take it to the shop soon

Prolly talking bout the flexpipe. Horrible design an very commin for it to break. Easy fix to cutout an weld a new in. But if ya need headets gaskets. Thats gonna be involved a bit

i cant tell if its the actual header gasket or the three sided gasket where it meets the exhaust. hard to tell without digging into it a little

found my exhaust leak - broken weld on the 3bolt flange connecting to the headers.

broken in my engine for about 250 miles so far. About to do an oil change.

running great for the most part.
But getting a CEL P0171 System Too Lean Bank 1.
and a couple of codes for O2 sensors. P0155

could they be related?
I put 4 new o2 sensors in it when i had the engine out. Maybe a bad connection somewhere?

Am I missing anything?

IIRC, there is a cover that goes over the end of that spline that is attached with 6 allen head bolts. I would have to take the wheel off to confirm, but I am pretty certain you are missing something.
