OOOOOOOOH!!!!! Crap, I forgot to say why I did that! :-0 the reason is because I was getting combustion pressure into my crankcase and would be taking the head off plus I wanted to change the main and rod bearings too. I think I had a peice of sand or something from blasing get into the oil system and it scored the center main bearing pretty bad. I cleaned the oil galleys again and polished the journal with emory paper and slapped the new mains and caps back on. Tomorrow I'm checking the valves to see if I didn't lap one just right and will probably just regrind the seats again. The original seats were so eroded that I had them machine and install new valve seats and they were pretty tough so it's possible I didn't get one just right. The little tracotr runs great. It will fire right up with just a bump of the starter. The problem was that I was getting a "chug" of exhause smoke that was in time with what was coming out of the exhaust pipe. I could pull the dipstick at low idle and get covered with oil from the pressure trapped in the crankcase.
