Message	Well its good to finally hear the car run again.. Its been about two years since I tore the motor apart. If interested what was done etc. just peek at my profile. Happy to say that it started on the first turn of the key with no problems whatsoever. In case you are curious, I did do all the work myself (except the machine shop work on the longblock), even the things you see polished. Its a good feeling knowing every detail under the hood and being able to tell someone that you did the work yourself. Here are a couple of pics: The MOST IMPORTANT thing in the garage at start time. Thanks Wagz, you da man. Glad I didn't have to use it :)
