[QUOTE="Scott Cee, post: 133988, member: 23817"] I also painted the engine slime green because why not: [ATTACH type="full"]6207[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]6208[/ATTACH] I did a terrible job. No masking, just used a piece of cardboard to control overspray. I had the engine upside down and noticed the valve cover leaking at this plug. Out of the two gasket kits I had one fit nicely, the other didn't. The book says something about RTVing the cover here, I think its a bad idea, you will need to pull the cover off to check valve clearance after the first start. Likewise, make sure you set the valve clearance a bit loose with it cold on the bench, but make sure you do set it now: [ATTACH type="full"]6209[/ATTACH] Intake on with other stuff: [ATTACH type="full"]6210[/ATTACH] I filled the engine with oil on the stand and primed it. Another note is I filled the pump with assembly oil too when I put it on, you want to make sure it goes together with enough lube in it so it will prime. I spun the pump over with my drill and used my multimeter to verify the oil pressure switch opened, and looked in the valve cover to make sure I was getting top end oiling: [ATTACH type="full"]6211[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
