All good stuff -
One item, and it's only a question about installing pistons - I've always used a pan with my oil of choice, filled to about a depth of 1.5 inches, put the pistons on head first, soaked the rings and lands, then I've drooled more of the same oil on to the pin. I then let the assembly drip for a few minutes to clear off most of the oil. Beside being sloppy, is there anything wrong with this? And yes, on first start, it will blow some small amount of oil smoke, but not much.Dave W
