^^^ That is correct, normally they will start fine when cold but after then warm up and sit for a bit they can be hard to start due to the water that gets into the motor.

Also, you can run the engine without the water pump running for up to about a min, but it MUST have water in the motor. In other words make sure the coolant system is filled up.

Got most of the things back together. Just need a few parts here and there. Think i need to flush the brake system...well, i don't think i added the brake fluid right as i still have no brakes. Still need to wire up the lights, hook up the front bumper. and lots of other stuff but here's a mock up.
