I wonder if the scaring was from a dry start up.


Maybe, I didnÆt lube it.

Was everything torqued equally?


Yep I was careful of that.

The crank really turns over OK like?


Ya, just like butter.

Hmmmm, what did the pilot bearing look like?


Looks fine.

Can you spin the cam? Is there any debris on top of the head?


Well I pulled the cam out of the head way before I pulled the block out. So IÆm not sure. As for debris; yes and no. There was some black, non faris (I used a magnet), bits in the journals when I pulled it apart. But not a lot. Just some fine bits that had worked there way up, in and around the bolts of the journals.

Again this really has me guessing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
