Well the new engine is in and running

ZZP stage 3 cams aren't loping; actually glad they don't

need to find which electric water pump fitting I'm leaking coolant from

Otherwise... engine runs like butter, no odd noises, no smoke other than the initial burn everything out of the exhaust cause first start up.

cool beans...

now u know how a truly balanced engine feels. IF U GET ANY DIFFERENT VIBS SHUT IT DOWN ASAP.
this engine is bullet proof. the weakest link in it is the block that should handle 600+ HP all day.
