Lavoy, Perfectly reasonable questions. The answer is yes. My concern is that right handle not moving much. I just got a big load of worry off. Compression was zero on 1, 35-40 on 2. I pulled the head. Fun. Bolts were worn down to between sizes. A hammered on 13mm and impact wrench finally did the trick, except for the one someone WELDED on. The air chisel took care of that. I cracked the head bolts loose with a bar, then they turned out with finger pressure. There was an oil bath air filter in place when I started this project. I don't know where how or when, but 2 and half the manifold were packed with paper toweling, and 1 was about half. Weird. The cylinders are as smooth as a baby's heinie. Not a mark, no ridge, nothing. The piston tops have a tiny bit of carbon. Number 1 exhaust was sticking and high, so I pulled it. It was well carboned. I cleaned it up, took the Dremel to the carbon build up, and dropped it back in. It slid in perfectly. I filled both chambers with cleaner, and it hadn't dropped in an hour. Looking good. I'm going to run the valves just on accounta I've got it down this far. Regards, Yardpilot
