Triple check everything before you fire it up. Keep the fuel pump fuse out and coil rack disconnected. Crank with starter a few times so you see oil pressure.
Reconnect fuse and coil packs and 1 quick prayer.
Fire up the beast. It will smoke like crazy in the bay for a bit so do not freak.

I'm twiddling my thumbs until 5:00 and I'm hauling *** home to finish this up. I can't WAIT to hear this ****** start after a week in the garage. I started this mess last thursday night.

When I installed mine I didn't know what the hell to do with them at first...after looking at the stock seals I just tried to match how hight they were compared to the stock seals... Weird thing to me was that there was a little gap imbetween the valve seat and the botton of the seal. The stock ones that were on my car were all one piece...seat and seal.
