Many people piece together a setup that can be done for quite a bit less, I just didn't want to deal with the aggrevation and possibility of it not working properly. This worked pretty well, it just took a little time for the oil to make it up to the pushrods. I'll likely run it once more just before the first startup (I wanted to play with my new toy when it arrived, but there'll probably be a 4 month gap from the last prime and startup).
Thanks, much appreciated! I had a lot of fun (and frustration) building the last one. I did a bit less fab this go around due to lack of time and rusty skills, but I like to think I've done a couple things better this go around. Having a little more patience in my old age doesn't hurt either, haha.

I wouldn't stress. Man made it, man can fix it. If it doesn't go in just perfect off the bat, loosen everything a bit and square it up. If it's not OEM, it'll usually take a little extra effort to make it right. Not the end of the world though.

Hit another setback - upgraded to a new house. Back burnered again, but I'm still hoping to get out around Juneish. I have most of what I need and plenty to do, but time is lacking with trying to balance work with closing on the new house and selling the current house. We'll see.

Well this build really got backburnered, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. This time of year is really busy for me, but I'm shooting to have this thing running by mid June.
