Paint doesn't make an engine any faster, BUT it sure does make it look nicer when it gets there.

Well I have been busy since the last post. The engine is back in the truck and need to finish putting everything back together. Mostly just the coolers in front of the engine.

Changed the o-ring in the bottom of the HPOP res and no more leaks. Drove it out the shop, washed off the oil and took it for a quick drive.

It has a very long crank then couple romps. After that its smooth. I only drive it about a mile. I didn't get it over 2000 rpm. I haven't had a chance to try any tune but stock. I have a couple more pics that I will post when I get to a computer
