Looks great, seems like it was a quick install. Also be careful of those fan mounts if you don't already know, we just made a shroud to mount the fans on my buddy's Subaru buggy cause they almost wore holes in the radiator and it has only been on half a dozen trips since they were first put on. Keep up the good work!!!

Now im thinking about it. I believe the 2.4 the pump kicks on and off keeping the psi right. So it should start.

Yep in Darrell's garage.

Ecotecs don't use pcv valves so the breather filter should be replaced with a vacuum hose to the air intake. It is baffled under the cam cover to keep it from sucking oil and maintains a negative crankcase pressure making it a no dripper engine.
