LOL, from the PCV leaving some air, not too bad though. I will put another one in today. I always break those things, never fails. It's got the stock cams back in it now. Everything I had to do.

Re-torqued head bolts to spec.
Reset timing (pass. side sprocket off one tooth the the inside)
Installed stock OEM cams
Replaced EGR valve
Rewired the Viper Alarm
Re-grounded the alarms and engine block ground. Both ground wires were shoved under the intake manifold.

I drove it around last night and it runs like mine did when it was new. This is why I hate shops, about 1/2 of that is correcting work he paid a shop to do.

Man that makes two of us. I wanted to have all the bugs worked out before the engine swap.

Yep, I will pull the oil pan off the HO tonight and take it to a machine shop to be threaded for the blower oil return line. The HO engine will probably go in next week around Tuesday-Thursday.
