all right sounds good. I did not get a gasket kit either. I might have to seal something, might have a P0442 now we shall see. Butter that muffin with RTV if that is the case.

I bought a cheap boroscope from amazon. They had some like 16 bucks you may want to look into that before you tear it all back apart or something. I still have the code from the cams not being lined up correctly I should probably check the codes again in a couple days. I'm going to wait on doing the cams I'm really tired of working on it after a month and a half.

jfrahm any luck? I've noticed that since I got mine running and it has been really hot here in Ohio that it's cranks more then normal to restart. I read that it should maintain some sort of pressure for awhile after you shut the car off. Mine is dropping to 0-10 psi I think in your case if you were worried about the fuel pump install you could get away with checking it right before it goes in't the fuel rail. I'm thinking my problem is the Regulator I had it off when I was testing things and it's old. I'll let you know.

I did get one P0442 code so I might have to get some RTV onto the top of the assembly, there was some on there before from the last fuel pump many years ago, cracks around the top of the long bolt. I'll see if it comes back. Other than that, no problems.

Yeah I changed my fuel pressure regulator just now and as soon as I took it out I realized I had broken it reinstalling it. Old brittle plastic. Put the new one in and pressure held after I shut it off so there was my problem.
