bearings check the bearing on the pump yet? maybe you should add a man. fan switch after you get it fixed in case it sarts to heat up again you wont like having to replacing the head gaskets. As far as having someone do it for you nah how will you ever learn , right although a lt1 techie observin your work could be good. Did the opti get wet ?
