How much did you get in John? Should be between 7 and 8 gallons, close to 8 I believe. You could have some air in it, if so it will work its way out, just keep an eye on it.

yea it don't have that much in it.i will be keeping an eye on it for sure as i don't want to do this agian.but as i said before its running great.O blowby and O leaks as of now.
looking at the old motor some of the pistons look to be rotated some.like if you have seen the stock pistons the arrows and numbers that piont up are kinda offset on 3 or 4 of these wonder if the PO sprayed it to much to start it up
REALLY thanks alot guys as i learned alot on this one hated to ask so many questions but thats how i learn even @44 years old
