Well finally got it back together, and sure enough it weeps a little coolant in a couple spots externally. Might have got a little hot a little too fast breaking in the new EB crawler cam.
But other then that it runs great!
Total desmog, new Weber 32/36, and Rock Ripper headers, double row timing chain, oil pump, water pump, and other small stuff.
Thought I might run it like this for 500 miles till first oil change, then do the head gasket again. Bad idea?
Also my AC won't kick on after desmog. I can run a hot wire to the compressor and it kicks on, but I can't seem to find how my switch in the cab can activate compressor.
I have a FSM, but I'm still a little lost.
Thanks.
