If you're intersted heres a link to my first fire up after 1 year of work

 

hey man it sounds great, congrats. But stop the low idle get it on the road and seat those rings. Remember back when I did my NA and Schigara posted his advise on how to seat the rings? I followed his advise on cutting my own ring gaps and ring seating on my Platinum and it is perfect.

 

i think i might have a real bad problem -- itll run then sqeal to a dead stop --im thinkin the car is just dead it gets oil and it gets coolant -- wtf - where have i gone wrong -- everything is to spec - i wonder if it spun a rod bearing- had to reuse cap bolts coz i couldnt find replacement bolts anywhere- WHY??
i cant keep doing this -- my biggest issue is with the companies that sell parts -- why dont you sell the nutz and bolts too ?????? IF YOU DO THEN YOU NEED TO HAVE AN AREA WHERE PPL CAN GET WHAT THEY NEED !!!!!! things such as intake bolts and exhaust bolts and nutz - rod bolts, replacement banjo bolts and copper crush washers ,everyone talks of rebuilding - but its so difficult to find replacement bolts and nuts --OEM - OEM -- C'MON SALES GUYS -- help us owners out a bit would ya

 

Is it seized?
Or does it just run for a little bit then stop?
Does it sound like it has a rod knock?

 

I would post a video of it running and then stopping.

 

just watched your vid.
that color, oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh mmmmmy god that pearl white.
i wouldnt care if it didnt run, id just be happy to sit there and look at the paintwork...

 

i think you may be right tech spun bearing on cyl #1 im gonna drop the pan on saturday and take a look -any idea where i can get new cap bolts from by the way??

 

I always reuse them.
But make sure you did not get a bearing cap backwords by accident.
I had one on backwords by accident when I put mine together.

It sounded like a rod knock. When I pulled the pan and checked the bearing I figured it out.

The bearing was perfect I reassembled everything the correct way and that was 3k ago and all is fine.

Before you drop the cap look at it really closely and see if it is seated correctly. If you did not mark them before pulling it apart originally it could be backwords. On mine it was marked on both sides that is how I screwed up.
