There are 4 issues that I am going after.
The first is that the engine smokes pretty good when it starts, and has more blowby than I like. The cylinders are glazed pretty good, which I assume is due to the farting around getting the fuel injection working after the overhaul. I am going to pull the pistons, hone and reinstall. I would also like to see if I can install valve seals because it looks like there is a little going down them. I got the head loose and blocked up, will lift it off with hoist in the morning.
The second issue has been a leaking head gasket, and I think I found the reason. I had a stripped head stud, so I replaced them all with ARP studs. The original studs were larger and kind of seated into the block surface. The new ones just ran out of threads and did not seat like that. I now have a spare block, so will probably pull the studs out of that and use them. I got a quote from Fastenal for $250 to make a set of studs, so could chose that depending on how much time I want to spend.
The third issue is the rear main seal leaks. I think the issue there is that the rear main cap is sealed with RTV, and I do not know if that is done right. I found a set of original rubber slide seals, so will put these in.
The fourth issue is the ring gear is pretty well mucked up. I have a spare flwyheel with a good ring gear that I will swap. I will then get a good starter that does not attack it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
