After months of stressing over my engine build, parts not arriving like they should, and small set backs here and there, I finally got my engine timed last night for $20 and now it's resting in it's rightful location all snug in the engine bay. I know everything I need for the engine to start (fuel, spark, etc...) is good. I'm still a little leary of the timing since this guy did it so quickly, and his way, not the way I've read, but he was quit knowledgable on DSMs so I went with it. I know the fuel pressure is awesome, since I accidently sprayed a friend with fuel a few months back when I turn the electrical system on and forgot to disconnect the pump harness :sneaky: ROFL. The ignition system works great as 90% of it got replaced with new parts, and the low compression problem should have been cured with the long block rebuild. So tonight is gonna be a long night of reinstalling all the plumbing, wires, vac lines, fluids, and everything else. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that I won't need to tear it all back out again for not starting again.... :dsm:
