Talking '98 Trans Am Back Up After Broken Valve Spring!

My buddy and I have been working on my '98 Trans Am for 2-3 weeks now. We found the issue causing a bad running condition (Valve spring over the retainer!). We finally go the car up and running last night!

Some misc. cell photos over the past couple weeks:






We tore apart the top end:


After about 6 full days of work (Over 2-3 weeks) we finally got the car put back together:


Need to get a coolant temp. sensor and coolant today. Have to idle it for a while, then take it for a drive. Wish it were sunny & dry today, but of course nature has provided rain.
