Started the car tonight!!!!!! Only a small issue so far. We had a small coolant leak where the heater core return joins the rubber hose at the firewall. Other than that it sounded great and no other noticeable problems. Yay!!

I changed the oil and filter already. We got it up to operating temp, left it there for a few min and changed the oil/filter.7 DAYS TO SEBRING

Bleed that coolant well so you have no worries about trapped air in the system and enjoy Jet!
