I have located another cam. So now nothing rotating is being reused.
Picked motor up Tuesday evening, got the work area all nice and setup. Ever since, the phone/email has been ringing non stop with work and wedding (cousin's) related crap, so last night I was already 24 hours behind schedule.
Finally get free and start applying RTV to the pan/gasket/block per Canton's instructions.
Then I find that some tard at the fel-pro factory put the wrong gasket in the box. Right box, right sticker on the box, wrong gasket. Had to spend a bunch of time cleaning off the RTV before it would set since it would be 8 hours before the parts store opens.
F me.
Got motor running late this afternoon, a full 48 hours later than planned. All is looking good until I see a steady drip of water from the back driver's side. Steam pipes? No? Heads? Oh crap!
Grab a pressure tester at autozone and pressurize it to just below where the cap would open (20 psi) and find a stead drip from one of the freeze plugs on the back side.
Total bitch to get to and extraction took all gdamn night. F me.
All I have left to do is plumb my oil cooler, then throw on the dshaft/torque arm, steering shaft, hookup/bleed brakes, and tie/clamp up all the loose wiring and I'm ready to hit the dyno. Guess I'm not sleeping.
If you can get the tires you need hauled to Cresson to my shop in Hutto before 4:30 today I have 41.5" open on my tire rack. I measured a RA1 last night and it was 10.25 wide so I assume 4 RR's will fit. I am hauling two new RR's (not mounted) but I think I can put them under the coach.

I'm not sure I would worry about the DYNO. I doubt anyone will have an issue with you running without if you get it done after.

There is a dyno at MER right next to the Texaco. we used last year.
