Put the other one together and have someone watch over your shoulder. Sounds like Chad will do it and if not, drop me a line, I'll come down and give you a hand. You're about 99% there already.

I think Tachyon (Paul) knows what hes doing, its just sometimes we need to slow down a bit. I sometimes catch myself rushing things, and thats when mistakes happen. Patience is a virtue. Sounds so simple but its quite hard when frustration occurs.

Regardless of how good you are, another set of eyes is always helpful because there are so many things you can miss.

+1. I always ask for a second opinion at work if the stakes are high. No point in take all of the blame yourself. ;)

Thanks for the encouragement guys... most forms would have ridiculed me to no end about this one. I guess that's why I am here.

I know it's no excuse, but I was rushing it to get the engine done. I was going on a cruise with some friends to the Black Hills (miles of twistys) and was really stubborn with what I wanted in this engine. By the time all the parts arrived I had 2 days to build the engine during the week. I pulled two all-nighters with work in the daytime.
