From ashes

Yeah, I don't buy in to any of that ring seating theory. That's normally done with in the first 10-20 miles on a new car (or in this case, new pistons). A couple of pulls on the dyno will take care of that.

I'm still debating about E85. Maybe I'll run it on pump gas for the next month or two (1000 miles or so) and see if I still want to go E85 at that point.

If you haven't decided yet, you probably don't have the fuel system for it then anyway.

Stay pump to start and switch when you get bored. Take this in strides, don't do it all at once unless you are dead set on it.

Easier to troubleshoot and get working right the less stuff you change at a time.

Even if you are dead set on it, don't do it all at once. Easier to pinpoint issues when changing things a little at a time.

True, which is why I said dead set and by that I mean if he already bought everything necessary to run it.

It can be done if you take your time and do it right and know what you are doing.

But its much easier to do it piece by piece, agreed.
