BOY!!! I'll bet you're feeling GREAT!!!
I've been following along even though I couldn't offer any help.
There really is a special sense of satisfaction that comes with learning to do something new!!!
Regards,

I appreciate the support Alan. It also marks the point where while I still have a long way to go, there isn't much left that I haven't done before. So all the steep learning curve mountains are pretty much climbed. Just a matter of getting it done. But there is a lot too do. It will take another year.

When they first fire it is quite a thrill. Especially after chasing all those ghosts. Cam break-ins gererate a ton of heat. I put a window fan in front of the car to help. Enjoy your engine. Oh yeah, there is a reason I know about that 180* thing...
