It'll feel good (great!) when I start it don't find water some place it's not supposed to be... like in the oil.
Until then I just have to hope.

skippopotamus:
I started it up with water in it and I didn't have water in any wrong places so I'm moving forward.

Certified Lotus:
Skippy, I’ll give you a lot of credit going thru this engine rebuild in your garage. You have a lot of perseverance to get to the stage your at with the engine build.  At least you will know every aspect of the internals of your engine.

I’m smiling at the photo of your half shaft in the freezer to prep for slipping the bearings on. I did something similar with my shock tubes that mounted in the bearing carriers of my Elan S1. Worked like a charm.

Keep up the great work!

BDA:
Congratulations skippy! That's wonderful news!  :beerchug: Onward and upward!

dakazman:
