Bleed? Like turn key on, check for pressure at shrader valve (or however its spelled), turn key on again?
Hehe, that reminds me i gotta drop the gas tank and drain all the old 89 out.
Tons of progress, no pictures! Hehe, camera is with someone else at the mommet so ill get more pics later.
Timing cover is torqued down, same with the oilpan. I got the heads (with pre-compressed gaskets) and the rockerarms on finger-tight. I am going to put a roll of molding clay on all the pistons, torque the heads and rocker shafts down, and crank the engine over a few times. That should give me a good indication of how close my valves are comming to the pistons. From there ill get any work done that may be needed, but im pretty sure this step is just going to be an extra pre-causion. Ill try to get some pics of this when i do it later.
Once the heads are bolted down with fresh gaskets and head bolts, I'll say this thing is practically wrapped up! Time to get this sucker in the truck!
