Regarding thread on tight engine re-build...I talked to my machine shop guy today and he said it should turn with 35 ft lb on torque wrench. Came home and tried it and it will turn at 30 lb so I guess my fears were unwarranted. Thanks to those of you who replied. I got a lot of good info, especially on how to get it going the first time.
