Does the rebar help hold up the concrete evenly? How much pressure might be pressing down on the foam?

I really hate how slightly offset the FC Turbo hood scoop is. Either make it really offset or just widen it until it's center. As it is, it looks like I put it there myself and messed up.
Feels like a case where the engineers won out over design. But also lost to themselves for not making it FMIC.

After googling, I see some 13B oil pans as being that flat all the way across. Is that how you're gonna shape yours? Or will it have a bowl after the crossmember?

While they came out clean, there's a few problems.






On a scale of 1-10, what shape would you rate these as? I'd be uncomfortable if I saw pitting and chips like that on pistons going back into a motor. Is the shape of the rotor surface significantly less important compared to the face and skirts of a piston?

You mentioned earlier that your 3-rotor swap would need a shallow pan:

First step: FD (13B-REW) front cover and a 3/4" oil pan. This gave me an extra 1/4" of drop to work with.



I'm planning on using the factory oil pump and building a 6061 aluminum pan to provide somewhere right around 5.5-6qts of capacity. It's going to be tight, but who cares.
Is the final pan gonna dip after the crossmember?
