Greetings,
Got the engine running a couple weeks ago or so. I think the timing and idle are close enough because it seems to run and rev very well without any weird noises. No major leaks and it's not dripping from the rear seal, so that is good. I wish I could drive it, but I wouldn't be able to stop!

My master cylinder was leaking a lot so I removed it today for replacement. Prior to that, I could not get the system to bleed properly, so now I get to learn about redoing the braking system and try to figure out what needs replacing. Probably just replace most of it since it will all be apart, or even make the switch to 544 brakes since parts are cheaper. We will see what my laziness will allow me to do.
