So it lives! Did the initial break-in today. Will drain the oil tomorrow, adjust the valves and do another break-in run tomorrow. Here is a quick little video i took of priming the oil system.

Very cool, I'm sure it will be the fastest bus in LO. Not that busses are fast, by any means.......
Probably do a low 25 second time in the quarter mile.......

A little off topic, but BWA actually does 1/4 miles in buses. Need to be lower than 18 seconds in 1/4 mile.
They have an American chapter too I believe.
I think there are some guys on list that run rgb also.
Should take it to summit raceway and see what it can do.
