    Thank you but are valve seals absolutely necessary ?

    I see there is a little pocket cut on the top of each guide and a deep grove thread inside each guide for lubrication.

    If seals are used these will not get much oil at all.

    Will it smoke a lot if run without seals ?

    Hello everyone,

    The engine is finally done and running.

    A big Thank you to Techinspector1 and every one else who advised on this build. This engine was built exactly as advised in this post by all of you.

    Here's a link to a video of it running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Udld1ss1QY

    Looks like it runs better than that fan you had running to cool the radiator! LOL...

    Great Job!

    I've rebuilt a fair amount of engines, the first start is always the best. Nice job and nice stand. Thanks for sharing!

    Sweet sound - almost got a bit of potato-potato-potato Harley rump to it

    I've also built a few and I still get excited when they fire for the first time.

    Great job! Thanks for sharing.
