You sure had a nice clean work bench when rebuilding your motor, but i can't say the same about the inside of your car.. LOL.. 
BTW there is no need to run hot air on max to help cool the engine if that's what you are doing. An engine doesn't develop that much heat under idle anyways...
When under hard load for extended periods of time is when you want to run your hot air on max..

I wish I was driving!
Congrats, hey? Glad those seals worked out for you. Quite a bit easier to work with, eh?
If you want to get a little load onto your engine, chalk the front wheels, jack up the rear of the car, set it on jack stands, take off the wheels, and then put it in first gear, and step on the gas a bit with your right while you step on the brakes with your left foot... basically gives you an drivetrain brake to induce some load. do that for a half an hour and you compression should increase significantly.
You also don't need to baby the hell out the engine either, all that does is builds carbon. 3/4 throttle and 4500 rpm is fine for limitations for 100 miles, oil changes at 500 and 100 miles, and then consider it broken in.

my engine after running 45 mins has the compression numbers
Front rotor- 75-75-75
Rear rotor - 78-78-78
and it seems to start pretty good as u can see in the vid, i think my compression tester isent the most acrate because itz a k-mart one from the late 80's lol... but thanx man for the seals and help i love the fc again
peace
