Not that exactly.. but similar when you program blindly for an hour and it compiles and runs how you expect. Feels on top of the world man

I'm sure that would have helped bed in my new cam......

Your camshaft uses gasoline for lubricant?
Noah Johnson
Gotta get it up to >2krpm ASAP for steady oil pressure, won't make any oil pressure cranking on the starter but cam still spins round and opens the valves just the same! So you end up grinding it into the ground if you crank too long.
Joshua Jackson
Or manually prime the cam.

Doesn't rebuild oil serve the purpose of first startup lubrication?
Daniel Parker
Not yet I don’t.
But motherfucker, JMB willing I will.

>not pre lubing your cam
Rip your engine
Xavier Ramirez
>No oil pressure under 2k RPM
I think you have bigger problems.

>Gotta get it up to >2krpm ASAP for steady oil
Yes I am sure your journals are full of oil, primed and ready just waiting for that instant lubrication

Lol one time I spent a four days diagnosing a crank-no start only to discover that I had stuffed paper towels down the intake manifold to keep bolts and shit from falling in when I had the head off, mfs had jammed the valves open lmao kill me
Kayden Johnson
How do you forget something like that?
Elijah King
Just put lube on the cam beforehand jesus

I probably wouldn't have if I wasn't rushing Sunday night to get the car ready for Monday. The first crank slurped them right into the valves, didn't bend thank god because non-interference but nevertheless embarassing
Joseph Rodriguez
yes, and it is a very, very good feel.
nigga i just put my motor back together and it makes almost 40psi at idle
Joseph Hernandez
Pour the gas directly in the bowls you fucking moron
Justin Brooks
I clearly stated in the OP that I loosened the fuel pump and primed it by hand, there's nothing moronic about that.
Joshua Reyes
easier to just pour it in damnit
Hunter Diaz
No, it really isn't.
