Got the motor back together. Must have pulled it around at leat a dozen times already. Finished up the oiling system. Got my D'Rale killer oil filter housing mounted up. Tightened all of the fittings. Finished socking down the oil pan and intake manifold after letting the silicone set up. Powered up the gauges and hit the priming rod with the drill. I can here the spray bars bleeding out. I don't know how much pressure it made because the gauge stops at 99 psi. I can feel the drill load big time. Stuffed some carb fuel inlet washers under the regulator spring cap. Spun it around again. Maxing at 96 psi, less load on drill. Going in good direction. Decided to pull the engine around in 90 degree intervals to check for lifter bleed off. Engine stops solid at first 90 degrees. Loosened intake bolts up, since I remember on a SBC putting too long an intake bolt in and locking up the pushrods. No difference. Valve covers come off tomorrow night. Here we go again. Stupid squirrels......
Oh, and the rear main seal leaks. Boy am I surprised.
