Well, Tuesday here and still no keepers.. so much for picking back up on VSS tonight. Silver lining is that I decided to go ahead and start putting the front of the engine back together, I went ahead and put on the timing covers and installed the vanos and a bunch of other little things...


I figured at least when the new keepers finally arrive I will just have the remainder of the valve stem seals to accomplish and bolt the valve covers back on.


With time on my hands I went ahead and conditioned the interior and vacuumed carpet and hatch floor, not exciting, but after winter it needed done.
