Update: A few loose bolts on engine tin, timing not dialed in yet, coolant system needs to be bled some more(not that hard imho) and DOH i forgot to put trans oil in BEFORE i bolted it all up and made it more difficult to do. BUT first try and it started right up :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIKW3nzJCDM Lifters came preset at 1 turn, but I can hear a little tap tap tap, I have zero experience with hydralic lifters, but I used to own an aircooled that I was good at adjusting. Is it pretty similar except no feeler gauges? |
