Message but, did you have the lifters in the heads at this point in the build???:

If so, and again, if I am wrong, please tell me... but, isn't this a HUGE No-No for the hydraulic lifters??? To be upside down? Can't air seep into the lifter and, basically ruin the lifter unless it is taken apart and oil filled back into the assembly? I know the Nissan repair manual states to not let the lifters lay upside down, or on their sides while OUT of the heads, not sure if it is the same for lifters in the heads???

Just thought I would bring this up to help you avoid a possible major problem before completing the engine...

Other than that, it looks EXCELLENT... I just finished mine a couple weeks ago and finally have it running properly... It has been entirely too long for me to be Z-less...
