Well I just got done taking the 140 out for about a mile long
cruise. Smoke all cleared out as far as I could tell in the
almost dark. Engine ran great, had plenty of power etc, tranny
shifted fine which it did before. The only major thing now is it
seems to have developed quite a vibration. Im thinking maybe its
from the tires since its been sitting?? The tires are just about
brand new before I started working on the car. It was smooth down
the road before. I dont see that there would be a driveshaft
problem, it went back together the same as I took it apart. I
will have to investigate that further. If it is from the tires
sitting, will that go away after a while on its own?

I think I am about ready to call it done, I got all the misc
crap such as covers and what not in the engine compartment. I
think I got that oil leak from the turbo return fixed. I used a
prybar and bent the tube a little bit so it seems straighter
now. I did run it up to operating temp yesterday and did start
and run it this morning to see if it was still leaking oil. A
couple of things I have observed. When stone cold it fires up
and idles smooth. After a minute with the afterglow turns off
it does seem to idle a little rougher and maybe miss on occasion
and smoke more. After a few minutes of this and the engine is
warmed it idles smooth again. Im hoping this is a condition
that goes away after the engine is run a bit and cleaned up. I
used some JB weld to plug up that broke off nipple on the main
vacuum line, once it sets up Im going to pull the car out of the
garage and take it up and down the street and see if she flys
apart or not. I am quite sure once I put the wife back in it
something will blow up.

the brand new glow plug wiring harness arrived from Rusty
yesterday so today I put it on and put the intake etc back on
(made MUCH easier by my purchase of HF allen T wrenches. Still
no glow plug light. I stole the one off my 91 350SDL and it
glows and starts fine. I guess maybe the shorting out fried
the old relay. I tell you having never messed with pulling
heads, replacing rods etc I am sure nervous the whole thing
will fly apart. BTW, this is the engine I just replaced the #1
rod with the updated heavier rod. Just from my observation I
dont sense any different vibrations even though the weight does
not match the other rods. Will see what time holds for it though.
