It took the day off work to finish putting the engine back together. Got it all buttoned up, put some fresh oil in it, primed it and it started right up. It ran really rough with no valve train noise. It would rev but it wouldn't idle very well. It didn't die but almost. Check engine light turned on (never had a cil before). I let it warm up but no improvement. Good oil pressure though.
I think I got the mechanical timing wrong. I didn't have the crankshaft alignment tool. It was $100 on Amazon. So I started taking it apart again. It's amazing at how fast I goes now the second time. I'm going to order the tool, remove all of the roller followers and do it right. Huge bummer but... I'm an amature. this is a learning process.
