OH6PILOT Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Hey all...so I've already got the VG33 Engine swap thread going, but I wanted to post a quick progress video... IT IS ALIVE!! Stayed up late Saturday night to make sure everything was filled, connected, primed and tightened...Woke up Sunday AM, went outside and hooked the battery up. First crank, not much more than a pop. Pulled number one plug, verified TDC..Check. Verified Dizzy pointing to plug one, Check... OOPS...Vacuum hoses in wrong positions...Quick reroute, then second attempt at start...VROOM. Headers aren;t bolted to the CAT, but they're mated up, so it has that throaty sounds to it. One lifter was making some noise for a few minutes, but once it got warm and filled with oil, it quieted right up. Seriously, you have no idea how STOKED I am right now. Headers are burning off the paint, and I still have ALOT of work to do on this rig, but we're over the hump now, and it's sounding SWEEET! Now to install the electric fans and get the front end suspension back on this thing!! Edited March 6, 2018 by OH6PILOT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_Brown Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Agree, nothing like hearing it roar when it has been sitting for awhile dead. When I heard that same ticking I was sweating bullets lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
