It is Running!

Big thanks to Mike Mizzi, Stenod Peformance, and QC. They did one hell of a job! I have a few things left to do still but it runs and is driveable (made it from Farmington Hills to Mt. Pleasant and Mt. Pleasant, to St. Ignace no problems!).

Re: It is Running!

Is it possible the valves need to be lashed? hoping for something simple...
