Build Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ!

No. I’m still putting in fluids. Once is starts I’ll have to shut it down bc the transmission oil system is empty. Start/off/refill rinse and repeat.

Wes, I primed the oil pump a year ago or more. Should I yank the filter and prime again?

Not a bad idea, pump a bunch on top of the pump until full and into the filter outlet, then fill the filter up.

Not today. There is a coolant leak from the thermostat housing. Investigation in progress.
