Yea on the rebuild i am going to get the coated crank and the gx carburetor (if this one does me right i might not even grab the new carb) also there is already a gold wrist pin in my engine... guess the previous owner put it on.
I plan to save the ceramic bearings for after I break-in the new P/S which seems like it will be in a very long time.
I honestly can't believe the compression ad that it's had 3 gallons it feels new!
