"** Finally finished installing PRC 5.3s- Christmas Day!"

Lol, what a great christmas, wrenching in the garage, plus you finished. I'm serious too, I wish I could get away with that.

I hope to be doing heads in the fall. I think it will be harder from the sounds of it but the cam was a big job too so I don't know. What I do know is I enjoyed every hour of it and will for the heads too.

My favorite part with a big mod is that first time you get to slam on it and you get that "HOLY ****" feeling. Nice job on the cam install, glad we could help and good luck with your "HOLY ****" feeling, lol.

Awesome! Congratulations on your install. How did you end up torqing the crank pulley? I know you were unsure of that.

thanks guys

CBX -- the crank pulley went on super easy for me, i just set the pulley on, and pushed it on as far as it would go, got a rubber mallet, tap'ed it until it wouldn't go any further, then used a heavy mallet i had, and at that point i could thread in the old crank bolt with no problem. was really easy i thought
