Two best parts of those videos,

1) the butcher knife just chillin out on the gas tank and

2) the voice off camera at the end that says with a small amount of sass, "who are you talking too?". That made me laugh out loud.

Rebuttal:
1) A random butcher knife is an essential tool for any shop!
2) With 4 kids one of them has to be behind on technology and that wasn't sasss... It was inquisitiveness!

For anyone ( obviously except LTZ) who is interested in the engine...
It ran flawlessly! I had no real issues except two small fuel leaks. One was the metco adapter, and the other was the quage line adapter, both just needed half a grunt more torque Nd all is well. I got videos of perlube and two start ups plus an extra for voltage checks to ensure that alternator is doing its job. I'm get ng to upload them now so maybe sometime tomorrow night I will post them for your entertainment and criticism, whatever need be!

Counter rebuttal:
1) I will admit, among the saw blades, razor blades, pocket knifes, serrated and sharpened, pointy and high speed spinning objects I have in the garage, a butcher knife is not among them.

2) 4 kids! Man you have your hands full! I suspected sass because it had a similar tone that my girlfriend uses when she doesn't know what I'm doing. And that girl can be sassy as heck when she wants to! I do love her tho, she is supportive. I'm sure one day I will be blessed with the joy of fatherhood.

After investigating the water pump vapors I realized it wasn't exhaust at all just simply old coolant and water.


And I got power!!

So far I booked up the voltmeter on the control console and I'm trying to find a radiator to check the rest of the engine before disassembly. Found one on CL from an early 2000 Silverado for $60.

All you did here was show off that super nice air compressor you have. You didn't even run the "stupid thing". Hahaha

The videos were good. It runs good. Open manifolds or open headers are extremely loud. Fun for about an hour, then annoying. I was wondering if I would have to say anything but I'm glad you guys moved the gas away from the hot exhaust pipes haha. That and you called yourself a retard haha, that was funny too.

I didn't realize that the whole  idea didn't upload.  I didn't run the compressor bc it seemed like it would burst in flames if I tried again. 8 did run the engine in this video it just cut off a minuet and a half.

I don't know why I left the gas there but at least I caught it b4 I ran 8t anymore.  I'm gonna see if I can get the whole video to load for the actual first run..

I got some fittings for my temp Guage and steam port so next is a radiator and more run time before I tear it down.

A little help...so I ran the engiņe again yesterday and I noticed the cylindes 1-7 left bank are a lot hotter than the right! After just a couple of minutes of running I can hold my hand under the even bank's exhaust for ever but the odd bank is so hot I can only hold it in the exhaust for a few seconds. Any ideas what could cause this?
