P.S.
the cam sounds GREAT!!!!!!!!!...i have the idle set a tad high (bout 1100 rpms) for the first 500 miles or so..after that i'll turn it back down to about 700roms..it should sound nice and lumpy then lmao...i can DEFINATELY tell that its a rebuilt motor..it runs amazing..
the engine in my truck was rebuilt about 30,000 miles ago by an aussie my mother was dateing. he done a great job btw. all i need is a little extra grunt, so a cam and header might be in order after i see how well it's liked by mr. superbleeder and who ever else runs them.

Hey Bleeder
I found a little side project for you while you are waiting for the clutch! Remove/Clean/Paint/Lube/Re-Install your Aisin Hubs.You may have already done this but I just did and it was worth the time. Plus you get to pick any color you want for the dial!! I only suggest this because your attention to detail is more intense than mine!!

Mine aren't flawless(and they are kinda dirty in the pic), but I am sure you could get yours perfect with from what I have seen of your painting skills
EDIT: Sorry Bleeder, I just ran into the write up you did on your hubs when you painted them. LOL And I was right. They did come out much nicer than mine!!

Bleeder,
I meant to ask this earlier but got wrapped around other things. Are you going to run synthetic in that thing from initial start up? I figured since you put all this time into it you'd run something for the internals to get more than 300,000 miles out of it. I mean you do have to consider the fact that your great grandson is going to need a Toyota....

...and if you ran synthetic from start up I would guess you'll be rebuilding again in <1,500 miles! SYNTHETIC IS A HUGE NO-NO UNTIL THE MOTOR IS FULLY & COMPLETLEY BROKEN IN!!!
i'll be running valvoline 10-30 dino oil for at least 5,000 to ensure no issues.
Synthetic is TOO slippery and the rings will NEVER seal properly!

\yes, still ordering parts, but no, this thing aint done yet
BUT I did do a little more cleaning today, as well as bolting on a couple things, like the rear main seal:
and the oil pickp tube:
I got to cleaning up the flywheel cause I was going to take it tomorrow and get it turned, but after cleaning, here's what I found:
after 296k miles, I figured I retire the original flywheel

I've always been told that if there's cracks, it's junk...
I'll bring the old one along tomorrow and see if they can maybe machine it out; I can always return this new one
The new one only cost $60! If the resurface is half that or more, I'm just going to keep the new one, lol

lol, if you're talking about the flywheel in the last pic, that's because it's the new one
I didn't get a chance to bring the old one by a shop today to have it looked at btw

well dangit...
I just checked the FedEx tracking number for the MC order with my clutch, and it's estimated delivery date is July 8th
so I guess I wont be sliding the motor in with the clutch bolted to it this weekend...
I guess I COULD just drop the tranny and clean it up some (I know it's filthy), and go ahead and drop the motor in the engine bay... I really didn't plan on dropp'n the tranny, but eh, what's it gunna hurt... I still need to change the input shaft seal anyway; it would be a lot easier to get to with the tranny out from under the truck
but my LCE order will be here Friday via UPS of caurse, most of that order is look-goods, lol, aside from the emmision block-off plates
