    Joe,

    I’m intrigued by the “heat-soak” method, any recommendations? I am not really in any rush, just would eventually like to get it turning. Also, for the connecting rod bolts, is there a specific torque I need to run on those, or just as tight as I can? Those are the only torqued bolts I am worried about. This motor came to me in pieces, so I am unsure if there are bearings or any needle bearings that go between the connecting rod and the crank. Would you have any ideas?
