Don't know if anyones seen the saga of my new motor in the black car recently, but after not touching the car for about 10 days, I went out there tonight, pulled it all apart, set each valve doing the one at a time technique, and without thinking about it, buttoned everything back up.
Fired it up, started, surged for a minute between about 700-1000, then eventually settled into a nice idle like it should. I didn't check the vaccuum, but I didn't throw a low MAP code this time. The rockers actually aren't that noisy with everything in place, I think I really got it.
So, time to start some logging and tuning.
One note, and I'm not sure if this is a big item or not, but I was getting what looked to be a little blue smoke if I revved the motor. Kind of hard to tell with the black smoke from the richness though.
My stumble is still there, once I get some tuning to where I can drive the car some I'll do a good log and switch the injectors from side to side, then move on to the pump if the injectors aren't the problem.
