it's good and all that you've started young and you pretty much know your **** for your age and all, but....... do you have a girlfriend? or did she dump you already cause you were spending this much time and money on the skittle instead of her?

Youll get it done. And good luck finding a chick thats into 7's.
This chick I know well just got her first car. She got a red 88 vert, and she loves it. Just wait, you'll meet a girl with a 7.

i just finished my rebuild yeterday and i have the same setup as you dustin, just all t2. i used all ra everything. ill let you know when i fire it up if i get the same problem. hopefully not. I triple checked all my combustion seals to make sure that i wasnt going to pinch a line, and i made sure all the breaks were in the right place a 100x.

good luck with that kid. 
Glad to hear you got your spirits back and are back at er again. Good luck, don't **** it up this time
You know, before you seal the housings together with the seals, take some pictures and make a post just asking for any pointers before you start the torquing process. Just in case someone remembers something you didn't by looking at the pics to assure a clean and reliable engine build.

Cant wait to see how it goes for you, I have no idea how it would feel to have to rebuild your already rebuilt engine. But after 3 1/2months of my vert off the road (driving a toyota corolla 
) my swaps finally done and I'm very happy, I hope everything works out for you.
