Yes, I have checked all of those things. I got a really good engine builder Bob Sherry. He checked the clearances of everything. He had to take a bit off the pushrods.

The compression ration is over 10:1

Well after starting the engine without any exhaust three weekends ago, tonight it started for the first time with the exhaust. after alot of turning of the dizzy and carbie adjustment finally it started. It is sounding awesome cant wait to get it on the road. just need to sort out the suspension now and it will be on the road off to the mechanics to get a tune.

It will be nice to see the power it puts out. Good luck with the rest of it.
