She’s home!
Motor was completely assembled and installed last Friday. Start up yielded what I though was pretty low oil pressure, after warm up it was down around 4psi.
Unfortunately I left out the oil squirters/jets.
So Thursday I spent roughly 2 hrs pulling the motor again. Then about 6 hrs total on Friday tearing back down to the crank and installing the jets and confirming the bearings are ok and reassembling.
Then about 8 hrs on Saturday putting it back in the car.
Once in the car and wired it was a no start. Checked grounds, mounts etc. no luck. Tested the starter solenoid and it was dead. Bought a reman from advance and went for a drive.
A coolant hose clamp failed on the test drive. I had bypassed the throttle body cooling and routed that circuit straight to the head. The connection on the head failed. Fortunately I had another clamp in the trunk, unfortunately it was at operating temp.
Then a cel popped on. P0340, I cleared it and it pops back as pending. Car feels pretty weak throughout the rpms. (Granted I’m keeping below 5k)
Drove to an O’reilly and purchased an aftermarket sensor and changed it in the parking lot. Sheathing just after the connector was gone on the original one.
New sensor in, fault clears and it drives much nicer, can’t wait to hit 500 miles and start driving this like I want to.
