This is why I think every kid should have a dirt bike growing up. You'd know what the pressure was a result of because you'd have scars on your shins from the lesson.
Good for you for tackling such a major endeavor! You'll learn way more than you thought you would when its all over. Especially if you have to redo some parts a time or two.

Thanks - it has been a huge learning curve - doing the p/v check, deck height, timing - all fun and then to see if actually turn without binding....now getting ready to reinsert the engine - just did all the oil lines in steel braid - posted another question on that - the oil system is definitely harder to follow than a small block chevy!
