Woohoo! Good job! How much did you have to fiddle with it to get it going?

Funny, I had no problem reinstalling the head or pistons or any of the other engine stuff, but I've never timed an engine before, and I'm more worried about that than anything else I did to it. Mainly because I've never done it before. My brother has done it a ton of times and he says it's so easy, he can talk me through it over the phone, but fear of the unknown, you know...

I still have some fiddling to do with the timing, but im no expert with points and they do take patients.
