The idle is really high,but that might go down once the coolant works through the throttle body or you may need to adjust it if it was turned up by previous owner due to dead cylinder. Those lifter take 15-20 minutes to shut up.

thanks john, was the horrible grinding sound in the first vid the starter possibly? or lifters as well?

and yes I haven't re timed the engine. I had to pull my distributor from my old engine onto this one

If the line-up pin is in the hole and the cam gear bolt it properly tightened, then you might have a bent gear.

I have a straight edge. I'll pull the gear off and line it up.....

The bolt looks like its strait, but your cam gear is bent. replace camshaft timing sprocket

Yep. it was the gear.
So today I finished up. And drove the car for first time. Evryrhing was good until I pulled back in the garage and saw this.....

And got sick to my gut. This is on the tranny case and it is dripping fluid when the car is moving.
This is about 1.5 to 2 inches in to the motor from the side cover on the tranny

I'm thinking maybe pull side cover off and push this piece down and jb weld the craps out of it. Thoughts ??

I'm hoping that cause it's not a high pressure area (correct me if wrong) that jb weld may work.

Fingers crossed and other ideas

If I were you I would also try JB Weld. Or maybe just some RTV. The pic is really close up so I can't tell where exactly the crack is on the tranny. If it is on the "top hat" which is thin, then yes, tap it out. But if it is on the tranny body, I would not try to tap it out because it might be brittle and you could make the crack worse.

Silver, what do you mean by top hat?

The crack is on bottom

Couple inches inward from the driver side cover

By top hat I meant the side cover.

If it is just 2 inches from the engine, it is part of the "bell housing" (the area where the clutch resides) and has no oil. In fact, if the crack were in the tranny area, not the bell housing, then you would have lost all your gear oil. If it is part of the "bell housing" you don't really need to worry about it. You could still cover it with rtv or JB Weld to keep water out of the clutch area. But note the tranny has a flywheel access hole on the bottom that allows water into the bell housing anyway. If you see oil seeping out, it could be from a leaky rear seal, or input shaft seal, or just oil accumulating from the distributor (oil drips from distributor onto top of tranny then seeps down the sides).

Thanks for the response silver. It is the Tranny. Not bell housing. It's two inches from driver side. Not from engine. Sorry it wasn't clear. And I am leaking what appears to be Tranny fluid

No real trans pressure as far as fluid goes. Do not try to straighten it. I would try JB Weld and you might get lucky.
