Default Engine Start

It's taken me quite a long time to make this engine change, but yesterday I finally fired the new engine. Once the oil cleared from the cylinders and the computer caught-on to the idea of a new engine, it was good. No oil leaking on my driveway anymore! Ran it for 15min at 1600rpm and the cooling system stayed at 210dg. A few minor issues, but I'm satisified with the result. Thanks to everyone who helped me during this project. I've appreciated all the advice.
Now, I've got a good used(95k miles)4100 that I hope someone can use. I hate to junk a good engine....

Thanks slowroll. Oddly enough I didn't come up with any extra pieces/parts. Well, except for the old engine, radiatorand the crane I bought.....all of which will be/are on Craigslist
