Nah don't do it Travis. Just keep moving, stay active, and STRETCH! Doesn't sound like staying active is a problem with you though. I just turned 43 and still feel really good. I don't sit around much. Movement is everything. My grand dad worked horses and cattle into his 80s. My great grand dad did it until he was 90. He always said he didn't have to think about how old he was!! LOL

Sounds pretty good. It took a couple 15-20 second cranks before it fired off, then ran rough for a few minutes til some of the air got out of the oil. I let it run on high idle for about 20 minutes and it idles real smooth now. I have a 4" flex hose that I put on the exhaust and run outside, so can't really tell what it's gonna sound like til I drive it. That won't be anytime soon though. it's snowing and nasty out and the roads are covered. It's supposed to be 60* this week, so I'll probably get it out of the shop then. There are still a few things I want to do before I take it out of the shop.
