Mark , been following this for a long time . Wish I had your staying power

Its where I complete the pre-ignition check list so I can actually try to start the engine. Attempt 1 ended with the antifreeze fiasco...hopefully attempt 2 goes better.

Excellent!

Like they say, "Fingers crossed"

Don't forget to make a video out of it!

Are Donald Trump and the "Dancing with Stars" judges still coming?

I've decided Donald Trump is a dick (with small hands ) but I could see how the dancing with the stars girls could make the video better

Coolant manifold - done
Intake manifold - done

Nearly there. I have a small concern though.....when I switched on the ignition to power up the fuel pump to pressure test the fuel system nothing happened. I plugged the laptop in and was unable to connect to the ECU......I finished the pressure test using a jumper wire to get the pump on but I'll need to figure out what the heck is going on now with the ECU.

ok,well @ least he "aint buyin da tree bldgings 2 planes deal"
you make it look so easy,your like a factory. thanks

Today ended up family day but I got an hour at the end of the day and got the ECU issue resoled......it was me puting the ECU fuse in the wrong spot which I only realized after I took it to the bench and wiped and reloaded everything. Doh!

This ECU is a very early serial number, it must have been on the dealers self a long time. Anyway the early units had an issue with a low quality component used for the lowside drivers...and I now have 3 that are dead It won't delay me trying to start the engine but I will need to resolve this problem.

I bet the starting of this engine will result in a simultaneous explosion of a stockpile of North Korean weapons for no other reason than the universe sees it fit to punctuate a momentous occasion. Mark be sure to put your sunglasses on before you start it so you can look extra cool when Kim Jong Un disintegrates and you are heralded as the savior of the free world.
