And an extension lead for powering the light, since the stock lead from the clock light does not quite reach. Should be blue, but can find that in my stock.

Power on: the gauge reads 0. Maybe this will work!

Before filling the case with new oil, I fixed one more potential leak--the strainer cover. It still oozes a drop, even with the case drained.

Draining the remaining oil. Looks like one of those cheesy lamps from the 70s.

All the strainer parts. Last year I assembled these dry.

My choice for the first regular oil fill. Should have enough zinc.

Then a puzzling moment. I tried to pour the first quart of oil into the case and it backed up. Over 5 minutes it gradually went in. I wondered if the cold oil (my garage was about 40° today) was too viscous. Then I started to think. Was I stupid enough to leave the paper towel in the oil breather cavity (to prevent anything from falling into the case while it was out of the car) when I put the breather on?

Yup.

Another stellar moment. Sigh.

At least the oil goes in now. But I spilled a bit on the top of the case when I removed the breather. I am beginning to think that the oil gods are against me.

I did some cleaning up on the engine today. And then got out the last bits to install, the blower hoses.

I did have time to swap out the original bulb in the VDO gauge for LED to match the others.

OK, time to try an engine start. I got out the exhaust extension I used last year. Kinda torn, and it only lasted about 10 minutes.

Success! It was kinda cold and rough to start (my EFI has no true cold start circuit). But eventually it settled down to idle. It did make a couple of big backfires that I don't remember last year. I will need to check the ITB idle balance.

And the oil pressure gauge works. "Fast idle" (about 1500 rpm) reading 60 psi when cold, and dropped a bit at the oil started to warm up. We will see what it reads when the oil gets truly warm.
