Additional thought -- It occurred to me after I originally wrote this that if you have 1900 miles now on your new turnkey build then you really should adjust the clutch. It has properly seated itself now and has changed from when Doug put it together. Keeping your TOB happy requires the proper clearance; it's a pretty quick adjustment. If you'd like, I'll post pics outlining the procedure.

Joe assured me that my pump was a Ford OEM when he installed it. He's pretty sure it's the Tstat. Thinks air in the system should have shown up sooner. I'm will check both. Actually, I'll just change out the Tstat. It's never made sense to me to put the old one back in even if it bench checks OK, because there have been a number of times that Tstats bench checked OK and didn't work upon install. I'll just keep the old one for an emergency spare.
I adjusted the clutch linkage this weekend to change the pedal height, but since I have a hydraulic clutch, I didn't think that there were any other adjustments. If there are, please post pics so I can see what I should be doing before I start it.
