My oil burning pig. Pics too!

Hi AJ. Rings were installed correctly. File fit, clocked right. All done according to Total Seal instructions.

Right. No booster, no vac lines, no vac advance. No mechanical for that matter. Distrib locked at 33 degrees.

I will check the baseplate and plenum floor tomorrow after a little blast down the road. I did check crankase and actuually have pressure. After 3 PSI I pulled the dipstick plug.

I was originally planning to run header evacs with this motor, but a few guys talked me out of it since I am running muffs.

The comp test and leakdown were done warm, of course....and leaked it down only at TDC, but I was very happy with those numbers, too.

Side note: I DO have a pair of valve cover with tops cut off. Put them on, primed oil pump with a 2500 RPM drill, and found that the heads are not flooding. Seems like a normal amount of oil there. My oil does appear really black...
