Pray for me

[xcellerate]

In about an hour i will turn the key after finally getting my mtor all put back in and hooked up.
I pulled the head, got it acid dipped, port matched and polished, acid dipped again, new titanium retainers, 8k springs, hydraulic followers, tapered guides, and a brand spanking new 270* cam. New front and rear motor mounts, and a new transmission mount. Polyurethane bushings up front, and redid all the electrical wiring in 4ga. monster cable (for the engine at least). Removed the evaporator, compressor, and condenser and all associated piping, and to top it off a new 12" rad fan. I also redid all the old vacuum lines with fresh silicon hose, and a brand new big turbo filter from VWoA.
im headed down to buy a fire extinguisher (can never be too careful) then ill give it a final look over before turning the key.

*crosses fingers*

good luck! i know the feeling of doubt when you turn the key, hoping it will turn over.

Actually there was a study on praying and what they did is they asked people to pray for a sick family member, and another group of people to not pray for a sick family member and to see if praying helped them heal faster..the result???...praying didn't help..so based on that study...your on your own :E

I'm talking about our foul lord, Trogdor the Burninator. May the screams of the innocent be silenced by his eternal fire!
