    Link worked great for me! Sounds great!! Did you get your coolant reservoir hose fished out of the bottle?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Yes, Ian fished it out and we replaced it with a new longer piece.
    Later today I will run the valves, I had Ian do it so he could learn, as we only went a quarter turn after eliminating clatter. After that I will change the oil and add a bottle of ZDDP. I haven't decide if I'll keep running ZDDP, one of the reasons I went with a Howard's cam.
