Started it up for 5 seconds, then looked at the engine, big puddle of oil underneath, forgot that I took the oil filter off to get to the exhaust bracket bolt, pumped a quart of oil out. Started it again and backed it put of the garage, seems to be idling high. More oil on the engine, forgot that I sent the little half moon seal part back with the core. Siliconed in some heater hose strips to seal it up for now, have to get the part from the junk yard. Letting it cure over night before tightening down the valve cover. I Put the hood back on. Very warm day today, 50F in January! I have a few bolts left over that I don't know where they go, one is pretty big!
