After the rering, rehone, new cam and valve job, I fired up the engine tonight. It started right up and idled fine and reached operating temp. No strange noises or leaks and best of all the rear main seal appears to dry. :woot1:The engine stalled when I disconnected the SPOUT connector while it was running to set the timing. I couldn't get it restarted, but it may be due to I didn't have the distributor hold down bolt tight enough and that may have caused the timing to be off. I will need to get some exhaust work done since my hooker intermediate pipe is for a fox and it is hitting my crossmember. I have the exhaust hooked up good enough to drive it a few miles to an exhaust shop. Too bad that Rodeheaver's is over an hour away from me - previous photos of Tim's exhaust work looks real good.
