Welllllllllllllllllllllllll . . . . .....IT'S ALIVE!!!
A little more clatter than before, but no bottom end knocking (after filling w/3.5qts of oil). It took a little persuading to get the broken threads of the nipple out, but ok other than that . . ...so far. Still reading about 30psi of pressure when cold (normal) & I'll take it out tomorrow & heat it up a little to see what the pressure does when up to temp. Thanks for the the positive words & thoughts!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
