Yes, and then a little more.

And 1 minute after it starts..oil change. Then 10 minutes of running and another oil change. by then the coolant might be topped off.

I know how it goes...lol Been there, feared for my third motor.

Picked up a case of oil this morning. So ya, was going to start it, run a few minuets, then change oil. Then run up to temp and change oil. I planned 3 oil changes right away.

Backed SSExi up so I had enough room to work.


Say Ahhh, again.


I'm getting a little to good at this.


Dropped in with little trouble.


Got just about everything hooked up.


Checked the runout on the torque converter. Was a pain to get a good reading. But looks like about 4 thousandths.


Took a lot longer to build up oil pressure then I would have thought. Bet I cranked it for 45 seconds before it finally went up.


Finally, she moves under her own power.

Oh ya, and I had 2 SES codes. P0134, I'll have to check the wires, I might have missed something. And P0530, now that'* odd, that'* the AC system. I've not had AC in a few years. I'll just tune that out.

Just in time for the meet! Wonder how long of a line we can get this year?

I'm going to need to tune it. Don't think I'll be ready to do any kind of hard runs for a while. I pulled 5* of timing across the whole table. I can add it back where needed.

Well, corrected the P0134 code. Because I have headers I had to use a extension for the O2 sensor wire. I don't remember doing it, but both ends of that pig tail were unplugged and I only plugged in one end. Engine started up much better with it plugged in.

Opps, found one dripping injector. I'll have to pick up a set of new O rings and replace them all. The injectors have been in and out far to many times.

We need new double black lines pics Dan.
