Well I finally finished the cam break in. Had to switch back to a mechanical water pump, fix a fan relay issue, repair a burned temp gauge wire, and some frustrating hose and belt fitment issues. Seems to start, stop, and idle nicely. Nice lope to the idle
Now I have a ticking sound at the passenger head (valve adjustment hopefully), an oil leak, and the trans won’t go into gear now. Hmm.
So more punch list items, but making ssllooooww progress.
