Hit the 2000 mile mark on my build, so last night I:

re-torqued the head-studs.
Did a compression test. 186,186,186,185
and noticed some abnormal cam lobe wear I need to keep an eye on -__-

My fill f23 tool kits show up today as well.

I'm laughing with you though. Because I can relate and have done the same stuff and worse lol. One time I accidentally mixed up "metric" for "imperial" in my tune and didn't realize it. I had just downloaded the newest HPT and didn't notice the change. It was the maf table. I was running like 10.5 or richer AFR at idle and couldn't figure out wtf.
