yup drove it home about 10 miles ran pretty good actually...just was overheating but I figured it was either these notorious clusters or the radiator or thermostat. I don't really know where to go from here. I was really hoping not to rebuild...I heard water in the oil can spin the bearings but tbh I don't even know how to look for that lol

no smoke either and it sounded pretty good imo.
