That's true. I have their memo on that on a laptop at the house. I still put a very VERY thin coating about 4 threads up and to the bevel.

Zinc sminc. Anti-seized those plugs. It's going to be a major pain in the *** to change them as it is... lol.

Just an update. I was out of town for about 10 days for Christmas, came back and had a couple of big projects for work. I'm trying to find some time to work on it, but with the freezing cold, may be a few more days yet.

I have the ignition reinstalled (though I need to play with the plug wires, about half are touching the headers... ugh). And need to get the fuel pump wired to the alternator.

Might have a video in a day or two of initial startup. I'm just hoping the pushrod length is right, the oil pump o-ring is good, the pickup tube didn't crack, etc etc lol

It's still in the 20s. It probably won't even start. The battery will be dead.
