Started the engine today!

Finally, finally it has come to life. Still a lot of stuff to fix before it is drivable again but at least the engine is done and works. Feels great!

A couple of glitches before I could crank it up. I had forgotten to tighten one of the fuelline fittings so the gas was pouring on the floor. You can hear that on the video when I am bleeding the rails.

I only ran it for three minutes since it was still leaking some in the AN-fittings, I have to redo the flaring probably.

Watch the video on my site: www.protouring.se

It's out of a 2002 Camaro SS, the coilcovers are from Australian Holden cars.
