Engine Rebuild: Update
 

I am thrilled to announce that I have completed the 4 hours of total break in time recommended by J&M. It's been quite an adventure. Sometime this month I will update my blog with lots of videos and tips and such. There are LOTS of tricks and I made lots of little mistakes that kept delaying the process. Special thanks to the J&M guys for their patience with all my questions.

It's a good feeling to know your driving with an engine that was built right, and is dependable.

Tom,
Who said anything about driving? I still need to reinstall the brake rods and adjust them, adjust the clutch, put the engine pans on, fix the headlights, put the hood back on and then do a full maintenance/lube thing.

and i can guarantee you that the bolts will be seized in the spring bushing sleeves
so it will probably take about 4.8.. even though you only get paid 1.4:D
