You will NOT be able to prime the pump without putting in the pushrods or
rockers. Without the valves opening the engine will pressure lock and not turn
over.

night with ol' hershey. i pushed him out of the
shop (special note: that bus is a pain in the ass to push when in gear) and
i finished building the long block. now all i lack is tin and i am not
putting push rods and rockers on just yet because the guy that built the
short block wants to prime the pump before starting it. but hopefully on
tuesday or so of next week it will be hot tested and stabbed. then brakes
which will be about two days worth of work.
oh and to top it off i was looking at the tires and inspecting them and they
look really good. i am debating on if i want to unload that amount of money
on new tires right now or drive it with the ones i got. i don't plan on
driving it much out of town right now, maybe to work which is going not much
over 55 the whole way for 37 miles. get the motor good and broken in then go
over it and check torque specs on everything. i am getting so freaking
excited i couldn't sleep last night.
i am building this thing to exact specs and i am comparing everything
between bentley and the idiots guide.
YIPPEEEE. I WON'T BE PUSHING HER TO MUCH LONGER.
