Forgive the fuzzy picture... She was running with a tad of shake and my Crackberry was going nuts trying to focus.
It's together and been running for about 20 minutes! I've got a good "FE"eling about everything.
No leaks, no drips, no errors... Everything seems to be in order. The
oil's bright and clear (as it always was). I'm running 8 quarts of "dump
oil" in her now (Advance auto 10W30 with a Purolator filter). I'll looking to get about a hour of run time and then I'll dump the Dino and filter. That will give me enough time to flush the engine well and get any residual Glycol contaminants out of the system too. I'll do a flush on the Accusump also. The
oil cooler and lines will also be blown out before the fresh oil is put in. It will be replaced with a Mobil 1 oil filter and 10 quarts of 15W50 Mobil 1. The engine's still hot so I've not been able to check the coolant level. It came up to temp in a predictable amount of time. The thermostat opened around 180 deg and shortly after the fan cycled on. I'm not expecting any surprises.
I've a small amount of work left to do. I'll sure be glad when this one's over.
