It may take a minute to load, and I think you have to have allow active X controls, but you can view the video at www.LoneStarVelocity.com Since they shot the footage last Monday, 4-13-09, I have reassembled the engine and fired it up last night for the first time AGAIN. It is currently running rough due to only intial timing set, but since it was 2:00am I only ran it about 10 minutes at fast idle. Just before I shut it down, I noticed it leaking coolant from the front cover. I had not tightened a nut properly....or so I hope that is all it is . Hope to get out there again soon to continue the progress. All the best, Chris
