She is running! Timing is more stable than I ever remember. Temps are a little unsteady, but maybe I am paranoid. It is hotter and there is prolly still a lot of oil in the coolant system contaminating the coolant. Lifters sound loud, but oil is still prolly low even after my adds. Dip stick reads at the minimum.

But it is running! It would seem I did it. And did a little mod in my valve lash setting to boot.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
