Easy fellas. No wife for me. Divorced since March of 07. No permission needed. Besides it was better to it inside than outside on the dirt driveway. No garage here, otherwise I would have done it there.

Ok gotten through the break in procedure. But I am having difficulty idling without the enricher on and a lot of backfiring on decel equally out of both pipes. I have rechecked the exhaust gaskets and they are tight and good. So I am thinking maybe intake gaskets leaking. All new gaskets on the rebuild.

Probably a manifold gasket leaking, if you didn't replace those.
