Great job. I know you will feel better about that. Hey take a peek in there and make sure the one pipe plug that you can see down through the distributor hole is in the lifter galley.
Yep it’s there. The plug that came in the block kit was kind of long. I screwed it in and dropped the oil pump drive down in and the gear was very close to the plug so I replaced it with a shorter plug for a little comfort.
