WOOHOO!!!!

I got it to fire!! No funky noises or nuttin'!!

Spun it over with the ratchet after new oil & filter and,then spun it over with the starter motor until I saw the oil pressure light go out. Just a few seconds. Installed plugs and wires and she started right up!

I still need to put on the accessories and time it but it runs great! I don't think I bent valves, Praise the Lord!!

Thanks for all the support YT! You guys rock!!

 

that feeling is the best. a thousand miles later and i'm still in disbelief. good job.

 

Alright! This will just about finish this thread. I decided to gey my broken A/C working today. Since I still had everything off the front of the engine I pulled all the lines and cleaned them out with A/C flush. I replaced the O-rings and wouldn't ya know it I was short a couple. Off to the parts store and I now have cold air. I need to button a few things up and give her a wash but she's back on the road again. Thanks again for all the kind words and Yota-tech help!!

 

Test drive today, everything is great!~ 44* cold air at the vents!!
