bleh all sorts of **** happened yesterday, first my cable ineternet goes out,then my computer acts up,then the dam cable tv goes out.
well this morning i droped the 3.4 in the car,around 4 pm im ready to fire it for the first time and drive upto the track.so i goto fire up the car,and it wont start,look around and i forgot to plug one of the connectors onto the dizzy,so i plug it in and the car fires right up.so i kick the idle upto 2,500 to break in the new cam.after a few seconds i hear some grinding noise comming from the passenger side valve cover.so i shut it down and pull the cover.well i had installed 1.8 ratio rockers instead of stock 1.5's.turns out i hadent clearnced the heads
enough in 2 spots and the pushrods were rubbing the heads.so i get to pull the motor disassemble it,remachine the heads and check all the bearings and **** to make sure no aluminum from the heads got in there.at this rate ill never get this dam thing running
