It's alive! It's Alive! (ironically, thanks to the hurricane wilma)

Well, I just got power back in my house since last monday. Things could have been bad, but since there was nothing else to do(like no school, work, or power) I got to take time from school and work on my car (I know it sounds trivial with the rest of what's out here, but it kept me sane). Anywho, for the good news. I pulled out my pistons, and found a huge hole on the side of piston 4. Took them out and replaced them with some cheap clevites, for the time being. honed the block. Reasembled everything, and she turns! I'm so HAPPY! there's still some vacuum leak issues to be sorted, but it's just a matter of finding them. The new t3/t04e should be in by tom, but I don't think I should put it in until I run the engine for at least 500 miles. Btw, the head is also new with a metal HG. I'm so glad she runs. If anybody has any suggestins on how I should change my oil in the beggining, let me know. The car hasn't really been driven yet.Oh, and did I mention I"M SO FREAKING HAPPY!!
