Reply to "Seeking advice on some issues"

Well I drove it for about an hour today and there were no major problems to speak of. The car wants to GO once you start opening up the secondaries. I didn't dig into it too hard because the engine is still new and I'm not terribly interested in kicking the crap out of the car anyway. I drove it down to the gas station and then down to his shop and back home.



Oil pressure remains steady at just about 30psi at idle and hits around 60-65psi when you're digging into it. It's really hot outside today but the car holds a steady 190 degrees, even at a standstill in traffic, with the AC on. The AC blows really cold.

A few minor gripes I have with the car that I'll address after I move are that the power steering assist seems to be not working when the engine is running, but it does work when the engine is off and the key is in the "on" position. I'm using Scott (SACC) power assist kit on the car.

Another gripe is that the car does want to diesel a bit on shutoff. I believe this may be a combination of it being hot outside and likely that the timing might be a bit off as it only lasts for a moment. I'm told the car started out with an initial 9 degrees of timing.
