Better than finding the problem later.

yes you are right better do it right the first time... but....I have no clue about the compression and bearings. The odo is at 280000. The engine looks clean on the outside except for the front crankshaft seal area.
I am nervous about getting sucked in deeper and deeper. If I open it up then I might as well pull the pistons and check rings and such and when I do that I might as well ,... .. I am sure this engine would like to be overhauled. I am not willing to go the whole way with it yet.
I will see if I can pull the pre-chamber and insert a bore-scope to see something.
The one I have has no camera mount so I would not be able to share my findings.
Sorry if my quote thing doesn't work out, first time I tried.
Later J
