Im confused, didn't they dyno the engine before shipping to you? Why is it off then?

180 degrees out yes. Better drop the oil pump and distributor driving spindle, and do it right before you fire it up.

Put no1 piston at TDC of compression stroke first. Then install.

He must've changed the wires while on the dyno, and never changed the oil pump. Who knows.

I'm definitely going to change it, I just wanted to be sure that was the issue

Thats worrying that it doesn't surprise you. Sounds like you are loosing confidence is rebello's build.

Seems to me he just has priority management issues which translates to dissatisfied customers, but the quality of his engines are still good.

In reality it doesn't matter where number one starts. We are all use to it starting at a certain point. Zed head's point about plug leads being a bit short could be a problem.

You can always flip it 180 degrees later.

I think he is just overwhelmed and busy. Which results in small mistakes and less communication. If this is the worse thing that happens, Im happy. The motor sounds amazing. I will try and get a video up soon.

Looks great, runs great......That's all that matters. Make sure you've got good oil pressure and change the oil and filter after a couple hundred miles. Congrats!
