I am within a week of starting my engine. The stress incredible. I read all the books, I listened to my engine builder, I read this forum. I took all the steps. This will be my first engine build. I had a good shop do the machining and balancing. I have done everything else. Hours of cleaning grease, stripping paint then repainting.
I have over $5k invested which might be chump change to some of you but for me, it was my backup if I should lose my job, or even worse my girl says the 'M' word more than 3 times in a day.
I have nightmares of flattened cam lobes or improper priming (or priming at all if you listen to Chryco.)
-no oil pressure
-cam timing
-bad carb

-did I leave my timex in the oil pan
