Default Fired the 355 yesterday

I have built several 350hp/350's over the years but finally built one with the hope of 550-600 on the juice. Had to shut down after 2 minutes because of a fuel leak. Was kind of worried as I used the red snot break in stuff isky sends along. (old men don't maybe keep it together). Got another 30 minutes and today drained oil, cut open the oil filter and inspected with a 10x glass and I think it is good. I think it is a snappy one but still idles down to 1000 pretty good. Just thought I would pass along my joy.
