Bob,
You probably know this, but be sure to bleed the air out of the block =
before running the engine for the first time.  That usually means =
removing the thermostat so the air can escape through the bypass =
circuit.  It would be a shame to overheat a new engine due to low =
coolant.  It has happened more than once, and almost happened to me. =20

Good luck,
Mark S.

Any of you who have read my signature would know that I was trying to
get my engine started by today at the latest.  It didn't happen.  I
have a long list of excuses, but I won't bore you with them. :)

I am still plodding along on the wiring.  Once that's done, all that's
left is to tighten up some hoses, add fluids, do some system checks, and
give it a try.

From the land of ma=F1ana,
Bob W.  (Sorry I'm not making some noise!)
