Rebuildus interruptus
My first rebuild is almost complete, but I now have to let it sit for at least a month before I can get back to it. I'm a builder and started a project that needs to be done by Thanksgiving and will be b@lls to the wall for a while. My life keeps getting in the way of my fun. Anyway, I have the engine back together and in my Cutlass. Heads, manifolds, water pump (no coolant yet), no carb, no generator, no HEI. The new cam is well greased w/ lube as are the rockers and lifters, and the engine has been hand cranked one revolution to get #1 to T.D.C. Cylinders untouched since back from the machinist. Plugs are in. Crankcase is filled with Comp Cams break-in oil, and the oil pump has been primed, with oil flowing thru all the rods. Should I squirt some oil in the cylinders? The car is in a dry, semi-heated garage. Am I O.K. as is? Oil it? I'm so close I can taste it! ARRRRGGGHHH!
