Glad to see the slipping was not 3SX cam gears
Stock engine, stock camshafts, what's there to degree... Heads have never been decked and I confirmed the timing marks on the adjustables to the stock cams. I'm not building a power monster so Im not that finicky about pulling every last bit of power/torque from the motor. I got these for an absolute steal so I'm just going to set and forget. Same concept of buying Jackhammers gears that were the stock ones just drilled out to the settings.
I'm not 100% sure if these Fidanza's will slip or not, they are the newer style that clear the timing belt covers. I just know people have complained about adjustable ones slipping in the past regardless of brand. Rather safe than sorry. Seeing as I run a solid tensioner and Kevlar belt I don't have that slack that the hydraulic tensioner gives which may cause a slipping issue to be more common.
I bought a used CF sunroof cover. The underside was all messed up for some reason like it had been hit with brake cleaner. I repainted the underside, buffed the top, put on new hardware and a new seal. The seal was the biggest pain. I tried a few different things and ended up going with 3m Weatherstrip Adhesive. I also had to sand the front edge down as it stuck out farther than the glass did. I've heard that piece can go flying off all on it's own, so I didn't want the sunroof putting upwards pressure on it when it opened/closed. Now I'm just waiting on my hood and cf vinyl roll for the wing.

Started tearing down the engine in order to replace timing belt, waterpump and everything else that goes along with it.

I want a CF sunroof cover, but have heard they might be troublesome. Looks good though.
I raised the bottom part of my subframe. I moved the engine up and back a while ago so my bottom subframe piece was lower than i needed it to be. Gained another inch of clearance!
Fun's over. Hoping for an easy engine swap without machine work. :(
