Houston, we have lift-off!!

Great news!! The motor's oil pump priming went well, although it took while to build oil pressure, which had me on my toes the whole time...

Then it was finally time to put the spark plugs back in and try and fire it up... And it worked!!! The engine fired up perfectly and ran smoothly the whole time I had it on, which was for about an hour. Initially, the ECU had a little trouble holding idle, but that got fixed quite soon.

After that successful test, I finally took the old girl out for a drive, after more than a year! The first outing went well, so now I'm using her as my daily driver! The ride to and from work has never been more fun!!

Stay tuned, the show's far from over! I'm just starting to break her in! :-)
