I was able to bleed the stupid thing but it was very time consuming. It consisted of, jack car up on driver side, crawl under and feel around for the bleeder screw, loosen screw, climb back up and press pedal to floor, crawl back under car, feel around for bleeder and tighten screw, climb back out, pull pedal up, and repeat the process... about ten times. It was a good exercise in paitence. Meanwhile I did get the cooling system 99% finished, tapped the steam tube into the top of the water pump housing, got a belt on, and finished the pcv system. Still need to get the pcm re-flashed if anybody knows who can do it out of the vehicle.

I've sent several PCM's to Jesse Bubb in Indiana. Last thing I sent out to him though was my LS2 PCM two years ago. I paid $100 with lifetime tunes. Not sure what his prices are now. He usually has your PCM out same day he receives it for limited downtime.

Looks good man. Maybe it's some kind of optical illusion but the motor looks angled slightly off center?

I had that same knob on my last motor. Felt great. Sorry I missed your earlier question. Never looked in town. I just always went with Jesse. I always got it back within 5 days of sending it.

It's looking really good.

finally finished the gauges, all stock gauges work with the exeption of the speedo, that'll have to be replaced with an Integra unit to read the electric signal instead of cable. Pcm flash is scheduled for thursday next week. Still waiting on a driveshaft.

had a quick flash done to disable VATS. Itll get the full flash next week but it runs & drives now and it is epic. Still need to finish the last bit of cooling and exhaust but if all goes well I might have it dirvable for next weeks meet.
