    Will do my best not to "muddy the waters" here. Stan, I think you mention replacing upper and lower crankshaft bearings, do I have this info right? If so, you had the powerhead completely apart, did you hone the cylinder/replace the rings? Why is it that you pulled the powerhead apart and replaced those bearing?
    Did you run the engine before doing all this work? If so, how did it idle then?
