    isnt that going to be a problem when the engine torques ?   rubbing so close to the booster ?

    I think they make a special Hemi booster. 

    not being able to take off a valve cover just cant be any good  :dunno:

    Just prime till you see pressure on the guage then. You'll be all set after you set the timing.

    Just an addition to firing up with GM EOS. AN engine builder called me yesterday and I asked if he would do anything different. He told m ehe had just read that along with EOS that using Shell Rotella T is more beneficial for breaking in a motor. It has more zinc than others out there. I just thought I wouold throw teh info out there.

    I have heard that the Federal Mogul Engine Assembly Lube is a good additive to help with flat tappet cam life.  The engine shop I use recommends it.
