     Back to life yesterday,  and all is well. Little minor idle adjustment ?  I have to say, a bit pleasantly surprised.... she feels like it has a bit more torque across the range.  a bit more pull and shove.   It's real real nice.   A bit higher cylinder pressure then we have been running, stock  deck height. No rattles no, no knocks, no pings, no marbles in a tin can...  no drama. Even had about a 70-30 mix of 93 octane and 87 lawn mower piss in the tank. :o ;D   Going to dump and change the oil today, and beat on it a bit during the week.    So far so good.....

Faster, BAH-HUMBUG, I'm looking for that increased torque and higher combustion efficiency.... 8)

  Unfortunately Gremlin,  this first go 'round of pistons are spoken for.  However..... I know a guy who lives out on the permafrost of the Tundra who MIGHT could possibly have one ?   Wears glasses this guy, very cerebral at times yet down to earth.   Good with motorcycles and Hot rods and such .  And if you could catch him.... or pry it out of his hands before he puts it in an AVL .... Maybe ?    Just sayin' !
