Yep, I made it. Took me 6 days to build an engine, slap heads on it, add a tranny/clutch,cam,rockers and install it into my car. The next morning I drove 170 miles to my new home town in Tampa. Total miles on the engine, 214 now! Car drives soo much smoother now with the new brake rotors and I guess the new flywheel might have helped too. Also the car drives COOLER then before the heads and cam. It used to be at around the R in NORMAL, now its at the N. Not to bad for a first time engine builder! Im glad I did it myself. Car has a rough idle sometimes and I need a smog pump elimantor bracket to stop the squeal it has at start up but other then that Oh I also need to fix my air conditioning, its kinda hot out. Just met my roomate too, hes a friggin band/rotc geek but i dont mind cause apparently hes really busy with school activities and wont be around much. I probably wont be posting as much because of school but ill be here alot still, PEACE!
