Fired it up today. Oh how I wish I could fast forward time and have it ready to wheel. It would drive now... it just wouldn't stop.
The right bank smokes a little. Old gas may play a part. New valve guides might be in order for the engine reseal. I'll do a compression test and if good I'll pass on pulling the heads. (maybe I should anyway... but it runs smooth and strong... if I pull the heads I may as well rering the pistons... so new bearings would be cheap insurance over reusing the old ones... but why basically rebuild an engine that runs strong and just smokes a little... heem... hummm...)tfu:
