August 23, 2011 - Going over the whole car has revealed a few potential weak spots.
Such as this cap for the heater bypass, for example. It's only a few months old - I installed it when I put the engine in - but I suspect it had been on the shelf for quite some time. Check out that cracking. It might have made it through the race, but there's no guarantee. So I replaced it with a brand new one out of a fresh package, seen on the right here.
Interestingly, the slightly larger cap that is installed right beside it was put on at the same time. And it was fine.
