B1B Keven Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks to Paul, I have a project and I don't have to change my screen name. Plans are to get it running. How well? I don't know.

B1B Keven Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Good news!!! Pistons are marked .060, all the valves move and are 'proud' of the deck. The marks from 'shaving' the head are visible. Edited July 25, 2017 by B1B Keven Quote
B1B Keven Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Soooo. Sounds like I'm looking at bearings. It made a terrible deep knocking noise when I revved it. Also had very low oil pressure at fast idle (1000-1200 RPM) Edited July 25, 2017 by B1B Keven Quote

JBNeal Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 When in doubt, check the oil level every 24 hours and refill a couple more times after it drains out...if the level is unchanged after 24 hours, let it sit a week and recheck... Quote

The others were empty in about 4. Quote
