[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1182156, member: 6354"] Fired it up, discovered that I'M TOO STUPID TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS ON THE COOLANT PIPE AT THE TOP, so coolant poured out onto the headers. You see graphic evidence in the video, but that's OK. I'm not too badly ashamed. I knew it was going to do that when I saw the water dripping, but I wanted to make sure it fired, anyway. Had a lot of smoke, which I guess happens when the motor sits upside down for two or three weeks and oil pours into the combustion chambers..... But you'll notice that my Dale Walker Holeshots are not yet installed..... HAD to do it, neighbors be damned! [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] You have to wonder what it would sound like pulling under load on the road....... Maybe...... [MEDIA=youtube]WQu8z1hYk2c[/MEDIA] And yes, that's a motorcycle tire..... I've not gone back to the light side permanently, but my brother left a tire here when he moved to California, and when the car tire I had got a little long in the tooth, I decided free was better then spending money, despite the fact that it's a used tire. Maybe even a discarded track day tire.... [/QUOTE]
