I had it up in the air 2 times turning it lock to lock and topped it off with fluid. I'll mess with it sometime and see what I can figure out. The rear main leak is my big concern for now, because I need to pull the motor back out for that.

I'm real happy with how it sounds. I took a gamble with this muffler hoping that it would sound good and not be too loud, and it worked. It has a nice big block tone, but is subtle. Idle sounds clean, reving it up has a deep tone but not loud to make the neighbors hate me. I like it. And it was 93 degrees when I was running it at 2000 rpm, and the desert cooler US radiator kept it cool. I have a 180 thermostat, and programmed 1 fan to come on at 190, off at 183, and the other fan on at 195, off at 185. They cycle on an off and the gauge stays right there. I'd be a happy man right now if it wasn't for the rear main seal leak.
