You never revved it right? And dont lie. Also did you start it and let it idle for a while? ANd I mean just let it sit and let it run for a good while.

You are suppose to start it then stand in front of the car and just watch her per and see how she idles. Just stand there and stand then watch the gauges then stand....LOL. Look for leaks, listen to the idle, notice if the fans come on, check gauges frequently, give it some gas, etc.

I know its been told here to change the oil a few times when you first start it but honestly I only changed it once after starting it and I never had problems.

But 6 quarts is sufficient due to the modified oil pan. Now do you know for sure if a new oil pump was used? If so what pick up was used too?

Was the timing perfect on mark?

Take pictures of the chain before removing it and other areas too. Are you tearing it down or will that guy from OEM do it?

And its funny cause I think I remember reading over on the org that he left something loose so there will be less friction etc....I'll go back and read it again.

To my understanding he had the engine built. He wasnt the one turning wrenches on the motor..

Anywayz when are you expecting to get the car back running since the car is taking a trip to Florida??

i was reading through here thinking that your build would be nice to do to mine but the hole in the block looks bad. I am going to be pulling my LD9 and attempting to rebuild it with the help of a buddy of mine granted he builds V8's but i am sure a I4 won't be too much of a problem for him and i to tackle if you read through one of my threads Motor Blew it tells the whole situation with mine. Can't wait to see the updates on yours.
