Successfully reassembled. Ready for install.
One new habit I'll use on each of the next engines I build. Since I don't have 'run -in' fixture I simply motored the engine with a drill on the alt bolt. You should know pretty quickly if there any problems with rotating assembly or valve and timing gear. Also allowed me to be sure of my valve clearances. Sure beats having to install and find something wrong afterwards. Should be a time saver and confidence builder for those who need it. Also allowed me verify oil pressure and flow to the top end fairly critical, right Spokes?
