Major milestone today...got to crank the engine and get oil pressure up!

This was very nerve racking, as i assembled the engine a few years ago...so I spent hours second guessing everything that i'd done back then and was convinced that it was all gonna go wrong.
In the end it was all good, the engine barred over without issue, the starter motor cranked good (after figuring out i didn't have the transmission neutral switch plugged in) and yep, I got good oil pressure. Dunno what I was worried about!!!

Even got a couple of little videos of the occasion. Lets see if i can add them here...

Very happy to see oil pressure come up on the gauge...
