and she starts, just need to adjust the zero lash and stuff now, i think tahts whats making it run badly and not idle. sounds good though headers get real hot real quick. but i only had it started for about 5 seconds. when i get my water pump it'll be on YUH!

 

Funny I'm at the exact point in my install as u. Just waiting for mechanic to put the new cat in so he can HEAR the rockers to adjust them lol. They WERE adjusted but i had a non-SA in my SA set so stuff broke. I guess without the rockers properly adjusted, my car wont stay running, idles fine tho. Could be a vacuum leak too he said. Anyway this wait is killing me, but should be done tomorrow. Good luck with yours

 

yea mine wont idle unless i play with the pedal, so opefully adjusting the rockers will help

 

When ou say the headers get hot real quick, are they glowing? If so you need to re adjust your valves because they are more than likely too tight. I hate adjusting valves. I'd rather go on Fear Factor "all gross show" than adjust valves.
