The pic of the laptop on the dash was nice, but here is a better view for your inspiration. It's gettin' close, man, real close!

Thank you!
I'm super close. Today is supposed to be new alternator day. That means I'll run-in the cams tonight.

Thanks!
For real. I hate first starts. It took me almost a whole day to even turn the key on my first big engine build several years ago. This one was just as terrifying. You can see in the video where I stuff my hands in my pockets. Apparently that's something I do when I'm uncomfortable. I was freaking out on the inside. It took me a moment to get my life together enough to remember to check for oil pressure and leaks and listen for errant noises. I was so shocked that it fired up without much drama.
I'm certain yours will go super smoothly. You're a pro!
