Subject:Heads On ,Engine In: '87 Westy RUNS!!
From:Stephen Steele
Date:Tue, 25 Jun 2002 22:43:01 -0400

After redoing the head gaskets a second time and replacing a bad
lifter, Sunday night I scooted the engine under the raised van and
got it all bolted up and wired in. Monday morning I filled the fluids
and rechecked it all again and turned the key...IT RUNS!!

I need to redo the timing as it has a little spurious hesitation and
bulks a little on harder acceleration.  I also need to redo the
coolant burping as I let the expansion tank run low when I went to
answer the phone and the radiator bleeder spurted too much coolant
before I got it shut off.  It runs hotter than normal and in a one
mile test run it got well above the LED and the blinking light came
on.  I can beat this though.

I appreciate all of the help and p-mail in answering my questions in
this discovery process.

Thanks again.
