[QUOTE="03' White Snake, post: 16097176, member: 51916"] 1. I agree with Joe. No sealant on AN fittings. 2. I used cloyes gears on mine. I was staying away from hex key gears. I wanted to guarantee they would not slip timing. 3. I use never seize on my Bassani headers. Have minimal leaking. Usually seal themselves with carbon and crap after running a while. 5. I filled my coolant system and let it gravity bleed itself for a few days, kept topping it off and had no issues. I checked it a few times after run cycles and it was fine. 8. I deleted my PCV and separator and went with breathers. I run boundary oil pump gears in a Ford pump. 9. I disassembled my heads, cleaned with a brass brush and like 10 cans of brake cleaner. Lapped the valves, new seals, springs, cams and was good to go. They looked damn near brand new. 10a. I broke my clip too, I just zip tie it so it doesn't come undone. Buying a used T56 harness or a complete engine harness is the only option to fix it. I ran steel rings, did 2 start ups, held it around 1500-2k up to temp. Then took it for a ride and put 5-10 psi at her to seat the rings a few times. I had a pretty good base tune from before. I watched my wide band the entire time. Put her on the dyno and let her eat all 22 psi. Have about 1200 miles on the new motor, Running strong. [/QUOTE]
