ok pulled the VCG and checked the valves. Turns out I was 180 out for #1 TDC ha ha. All valve clearances came in around .009 intake and .017 exhaust, so it looks like they were set properly. And yes I had purchased the cork gasket.
I finally got the pump timed. I locked the pump pulley and rotated the housing until I get .035". It was here where the correct 5194 tool is better than the mag base because it is hard not to disrupt the indicator when loosening one of the pump mounting bolts, I had to re-zero a few times.
Tomorrow I will start to connect everything and then we can see if it worked!
thanks so much for the help.
