Sounds nice and healthy!
It does, and I’m ecstatic. If you go on forums and see what people go through seemingly having done everything right, it’s a huge relief just to hear it run without any bad noises, etc. just hoping that the vibration didn’t beat the new bearings up.

Did a pizza run for the kids, and stopped by the machine shop to thank Scott for all his help. He was pretty stoked for me. I’m holding off on any burnout vids for now, it’s come to my attention that I’m really just enjoying it being in one piece, and I’m going to just do a spirited break in period. It’s been a helluva journey. With that said, probably take a pause and call this a bookend on this thread for now. A sincere thank you to all who chimed in, gave feedback and support. Couldn’t have done it without ya.

Cheers,
Chad

Costco pizza. For the win.

Burnout video can wait until spring, after it's good and broke in proper. Enjoy!
