Motor #3 is now completely installed! It fired right up on the first turn of the Key!!! I love it when that happens!!!

I got all the fluid levels topped off, checked the timing and took it for a drive. Feels just like the last motor, so I hope thats a good thing. To me it still feels kinda doggy at highway speeds from what I would expect but the first motor felt the same way.

The last motor had a 195 degree thermostat in it, so for this motor I installed a 180 degree thermostat and so far that seems to have stopped the temperature from constantly changing while driving at freeway speeds so thats another plus.

I also found out that I have a noisy bearing on the pulley side of the alternator which makes the engine sound funny, so I need to get that fixed ASAP....

Plus the OBA even works! Its got a small leak at the pressure switch, but it works!! I've got a few little things to check over before this weekends run, but nothing major. Its mostly just little stuff that I need to tidy up and I need to double check everything to make sure its trail ready.
