I fixed a pin hole with JB Weld 20 years ago and never leaked a drop since

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Well limited success.... managed to get it started has good oil pressure doesn't run the smoothest but it runs. The problem is fired it the first time was able to run it for about 5 minutes before the temps climbed to 194 so I shut it down got out to check things out had one transmission cooler line leak so I fix that drained the cruddy looking water out of the radiator and as best I could out of the block filled it all up again with clean water gave it another go ....sameissue started and ran again about 5 minutes before temps climb back to 194 shut it back down the problem is the fans are not coming on for the radiator. There's dual fans installed with wires running to relays and all over so I'm going to have to try to sort this out and see what's going on.

IIRC the 2.2 chip only talks to the PL. The 2.1 chip talks ALDL to the ECM

Fans I installed on my car were plug and play. I knew my limits.

Yea, to finish breaking in the cam I'm going to try to wire the relay direct with a switch, start the car, then start the fans. Get cam broke in, then try to sort out the correct wiring

How heavy are the valve springs? No...this has zero to do with break in.

Expect them to go soft after a few passes. Steve knows what I ran...but I won't say publicly as it would send these guys screaming off into the night.

Well, got a manual fan switch wired up, thru in a 160 degree thermostat.als o hooked up the vacume/boost gauge. Ready to give it another try in the morning.

Hooked up the vacume gauge to maybe detect if there is any vacume leak...what would a good reading be? Never had one before
