What a day, Decided to jump back into this build since I had my Flywheel all dolled up.
The first issue was the rails interfered with the installation.
No big deal, so I break out the hoist lift the engine and move it forward a bit.
With the flywheel now installed I grabbed the starter and yup rails and leg interfered with install
Hoist it up again and change over to a Dolly with blocks.
How I can install the starter, But wait still a bit close with the blocking
Great, so I hoist this b!tch again and reset the engine one more time
OK enough playing around, I hook up a battery, remote start trigger, and Oil Gauge, and attempt to check the oil PSI.
Cranking and cranking but still no oil
Remove the gauge fitting and crank some more no oil comes out
I then pull the distributor and galley plug on the head, made a drive tool for my drill, and started spinning the pump.
You guessed it, friggen oil everywhere
Clean Up Isle 5!
HOUSTON WE HAVE PRESSURE!
I had to stop at this point and will regroup in an attempt to fire it up.
Too much fun
