Default Re: Tight engine

Hodpatf: Congrats on making your first post.
Sounds like your engine is still tight as it has never been broken in. Engines are tight after a rebuild.
You may need to run an extra ground strap to the engine/transmission.
As stated above, you dropped the pan, I would treat this as a fresh start. Pour a quart of oil down the distributor opening. Then fill the rest of the oil in the ususal manner.
Insure that you are running a 6 volt pos ground. And all battery, and grounding and contacts are clean. Good luck. Jeff
