Well it was a long day! running around getting parts and supplies then working on the car. I got the new oil pump in with a turned down stock balance shaft instead of a stub shaft. hopefully that will work better. we got everything back together. Paul (tachyon) was kind enough to come help! he timed the engine while I was putting other things back together. A huge thanks to Paul!

It fired up no problem first try. seemed to run fine while warming it up to operating temperature. vacuum is the same as it was before and steady. It's not doing anything goofy or funky. so once it was warm we did a compression test. all 4 cylinders were 155psi. with the way it ran and the compression results we didn't do a leak down test.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and put a few miles on it and see how it runs. If it seems to run and drive okay I'm just going to leave as is and get it on the dyno asap and see what happens. Right now I'm just quite surprised things have gone how they have. Kind of shocked. I guess we'll see how it goes.
