It does take a little longer for it to build the pressure I know that mine did. you might try it again and I tried to prime mine for a little bit with out the coils plugged in to try and help!

Well, I was feeling so good, I decided to try it again. One crank, no pedeling, it fired right up and BAM! oil pressure. Man my heart is racing, I feel high. I think I need to go have a stiff drink to settle down. Thanks for all the support guys. I'm going to try and get the coolant set-up done next week so after that I'll get a better vid, maybe even a little street footage.

Thanks man. Hell yeah it was a rush to hear it again. I've thought about it every day since it blew. I want to start it again so bad but I'm going to wait now until it's ready to drive around the block. I just keep watching the vid over and over again, lol, it's pathetic really.

Congrats!! Awesome! I keep telling everyone that "priming" is not needed, because just starting it will do the same thing!

Just sit back, and start the bitch!

Noice work!
