[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16899127, member: 70025"] After all that I filled the radiator and it was time to see if she fired up. She did fire. Passenger Side: [MEDIA=youtube]VwN_RbT4rmg[/MEDIA] Driver's Side: [MEDIA=youtube]5SVEjWkwKYY[/MEDIA] I noticed the block itself had a lot of crud in it while the heads were being rebuilt. So, a radiator/engine flush was in order. I have flushed the system around 6 times so far. I will need to flush it probably 2 more times and then I'll drain it and put 50/50 mix of anti-freeze in it. And this is why it needed to be flushed. Nothing like rusty/muddy water coming out of your cooling system. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230402_113029.jpg"]1788374[/ATTACH] It was really good to back it out of the garage again. I sent my valve covers and air filter hat out to be polished. So, I can run it, but not drive it yet. She's getting there. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230402_113545 (2).jpg"]1788375[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
