Finally got them on. They pull like crazy. I may get to the track on Wed.

The reason I am posting is this, I had a few small problems, and mabey my bad will do good for you.
1. no torque wrench on hand.
2. Checked PTV clearance, didn't check push rod lenght. Had to address that after the fact.
3.Crossed 3 & 4 plug wires.
4. tried to set timing with spout connector still in place.
5.Ran out of gas on test run because gas guage don't work.

I laught at all of my little problems but they where present because of my own dumb mistakes. The only resaon I put it on here is to say, Fellas and Gals, take your time, plan your work, and avoid the silly time costly things.
