Autozone rents the tool with the bushing at the bottom, cost me all of nothing. Motor fired, no coolant leaks from the head that I can see, let it get to operating temp and the oil looks untainted. So I'm thinking success.

Need to put the blower on and exhaust on tomorrow. Fired it open headers today, sounded like Nascar.

Good to hear it. Keep us up-dated.

Ran fine for twenty mins, then as I drove to get gas started leaking oil. Prob just out of the rocker covers. Pulled over to check it out, then, fired it back up and now the exhuast sounds funny. Too loud, too poppy. Checked timing, it's steady. Going to rent a compression guage today. The crankcase doesn't puff air, so I think the rings and pistons are ok...???
