Jerry: thanks, from what you said it sounds like I'm fine then. I ran it for about 5 seconds to verify oil pressure. I would have then mounted it and done the break-in procedure, but I heard a noise which ended up being that oil pump issue I mentioned. So I waited till the next morning and ran it another 5 seconds to make sure and to also get that video. It's mounted now, so as long as everything I mentioned up there^ for my breakin procedure is right, then it sounds like I'm fine. From what everyone was saying, it sounded like I was missing something in my procedure ...
Jack: Haha, sounds like a story worth hearing! I always have two fire extinguishers on either side of my garage. I built a mechanics pit into the floor (not easy in Florida, but so much cheaper than a lift!) so there's one in there too. My stand's design isn't the best, but I'll send you some pics when I get home. I'd have preferred to weld one together but metal isn't cheap near me unfortunately.
