I started the engine yesterday to break it in and do some general adjustments. It started right up and ran well.
Delivered to Orange Co. Crating today. Should be ready to send out of country next week. Compare the final
product here vs. the first few photos of what the engine looked like when I first received it. Cheers Amigos!

made me think of an old VW leak test. Fire it up, take it to 3 grand, hold it there for 60seconds. If it does not leak, it won't....
looks sweet, runs smooth. no fanbelt flopping around, what do you set the idle to? _________________ regards

On a "fresh" engine, I usually set the idle around 800 RPM's when @ operating temp. _________________
