you dog, you are asking me if I have enough room in the vert to bring more than that just for you. Google "convert 8.1 L to pints..."

Got my cam installed today. Filled in the small porosity hole in the block.

Tomorrow I'm starting to tape off the block and get some paint on this thing.

That looks very nice! I thought about painting my block before rebuilding it, but I didn't go through with it. Next tine I will.

Got my engine back in and over the weekend got it running. Today I got the timing set and did a compression test on it.

This is the engine I picked up at a pull a part and went back through and put new gaskets in it. Pretty happy with it.

Cylinder # 1 = 205psi

Cylinder #2 = 203 psi

Cylinder #3 = 200 psi

It should do me for a long time.

Oh yea, I had a rough idle condition and this one does a similar thing. Going to buy a new motor mount for the engine and see if that helps.

You better check the FSM to see if that rough idle is caused by that motor mount!!

Yes! This is a golden opportunity to illustrate how to troubleshoot BY THE NUMBERS in the FSM. Your new engine AND the forum deserve no less. :popcorn
