    Eltoquad, The mains seemed pretty good for an 79 year old motor, but
    I did replace both bushings in the lower unit, which were shot for sure.
    I used some heavy camshaft installation lube on the mains when I
    put the crankcase back together, so it’s possible that it started on my
    first try, but not after the cam lube "thinned out".
    Did you have to line ream your new crankshaft bearings, or just
    install them?
    Hopefully will have time to play with it tomorrow!
    Thanks, Buccaneer
