But you forgot to mount a starter motor ! Best of luck, I hope that it runs smoothly |

As I began my final assembly of the engine, a thought occurred to me. The displacement of this engine is quite large in relation to the volume inside the crankcase. I am breaking new ground here (for me anyways) and I thought it MIGHT need a crankcase vent. It might not, too, but now is the time to put one in, while I can still pull the engine all apart and flush it out before I put the rod and piston back in. If I don't need one, that's fine, it won't do any harm and didn't cost any money. If it does need one, at least it's in there.----Brian |

After a full day of final assembly, individual cam timing, ignition timing, adding a new set of points and condenser, adjusting valve lash, and making a starter spud to fit this particular engine, I am just about ready to Rock and Roll. Has it got compression?--Hard to tell. It's a brand new engine, and it's too stiff to tell if I have compression or not when turning it over by hand. Tomorrow should tell me more--- |
