Don't forget to screw on an oil filter or it will be messy  .

Or to install the oil pressure send unit before priming.  It maid a nice fountain , though  I can laugh about it now that the mess is cleaned up.

Walked out of my garage in my underware after disgarding my shoes and pants. Naturally I was standing on the oil filter side ( small block ) when I fired up the drill. I did remember to screw in a oil press gauge and I watched the needle not move as I filled up my shoes.

Sorry man, but that is a funny image... Luckily, the oil never made it to me. Good luck with your motor and start-up.

That is pretty funny... the other day when I was checking my lifter in the bores I had my wife hold her finger over the oil hole on the deck(going to the head).. she was having a hard time and was loosing oil so I stopped... as she was standing there I was gonna hit the drill .... but I didnt... I dont think we would be married right now if I did....LOL
