It fired up very first time!!!!!! I ran it at idle for 20min with Rotella 15w40 oil pressure was at 75 cold and 60warm temps never even got to 160. EWP FTW!!!! Add coolant cycle with EWP makes for real easy bleeding of the coolant system!
I got a SES light but Im sure its from pulling the evap sensor(I might just put it back on untill I get it retuned) Only other thing was a slight tick from the PS valve cover wich im sure is just the Valves just need a once over.
Ill change the oil today go over the valves and It should be good to go!!

Get that tick taken care of and go seat those rings. And the EWP kicks *** for bleeding the system
And for the SES light I wouldn't worry about it if it is for the evap code. It won't effect the way the car runs from what I have heard, just kicks on the light, you will probably get a tune soon so you should be ok.Break in vids?

You can get to it with the engine in. I did it to my friend's car. I took mine out with most of the engine in, but I will be reinstalling it hopefully soon. You have to pull the dash which sucks *****, but you can take a ton of things out of the car to drop weight at the same time.

Whats under the dash that adds more weight besides the heater side of the box?

^ The black mat that covers the firewall, the card board pad that is under dash pad, the heater core, ducting, extranious wiring for all of that related components, the piece of carboard style padding that covers the front of the trans tunnel where it meets the dash. There's probably a good 25-30 lbs in crap that you can remove other than the actual giant box itself. If you get that thing out of there you'll have so much extra space to work on the car.
If I didn't live in Florida I wouldn't have AC. I stayed with my Grandma in Connecticut for a month in June and I wouldn't have AC in my car if I lived up there. Down here you can't live without it.

I was looking at it lastnight and definitly need to remove the dash or chop it off from the inside of the engine bay. It would save some good weight but ill leave it for now. Its already getting a little chilly up here and I need the heat. AC is long gone already
