it said not to add extra sealer and that it has a coating already, so didn't use copper coat like on single layer metal gaskets, should have got a comedic gsk, owe well!

she's real close, might start it up here real soon, cranked over fine to get oil up top end, and all sounds great! and good compression, still need to put the rad in and coolant and rap up some stuff under the car, so hopefully I will be driving it tomorrow, but now I need to get plates and tabs, the wash tabs expired last month,

I don't know why I get nervous every time I rebuild a motor when about to start it, but I do! for years and years, god knows how many motors, I can't count them, I hate this part :laughing:

Nice work! A trip to Bozeman tomorrow on the 2 lane roads would be a good break in for that motor :)
