Okay, car is fixed. The issue of what i thought was lifters on the front was not that. It was loose header bolt behind the engine lift on the front. So i took the bracket out and just stuck the bolt there and tightened up the loose bolt next to it. I fired it up and it sounds great minus the exhaust not being connected. I changed the o rings on the top and bottom of the injectors. NO LEAKS. I used the dorman fuel line repair kit to fit a new plastic 3/8 fuel fitting with flexible hose. It leaked. Problem is that the front of the ZZP modified fuel rail has a bent flared edge. I am going to cut that off about 3 inches and flare the end to have a new male end to it. After that, all i got to do is get my exhaust welded on and it should be up and running
Until then, she sleeps
