Can you guys think of anything else I need to check before starting the car?
This isn't my first rodeo...I've done this many many times before but I threw my motor together real fast last weekend and don't have time to mess with it further until the day I need it running (Sunday).
I already did my timing and tightened the belt to spec, turned the crank and made sure it was still at TDC and belt was tight. Still need to do my valve lash adjustments but that'll take 10 mins. Fluids are sitting there waiting to be added. I have my timing gun to set it to 16 degrees once it fires up. Everything important is torqued to spec (head, cam gears, etc)...just need to install the intake manifold, charge pipes and belts still.
I have never posted this type of question before, but I just can't afford to forget something stupid in this short amount of time!
