Used to see this all the time, with a variety of materials, most of which call for the full compressive strength of the concrete to be achieved 1st. They don't want to wait the month and did not plan initially to have to wait. In this case, an embedded item was mis-located by mistake or otherwise. Hate to sound rude, but the ship has sailed, messing with green concrete is always a mistake. This is still a structural connection with forces applied, maybe just wind loads and lift, but still. It would have been far better to get those sill connection rods located correctly or, wait until the concrete has reached its full strength. Problem here is, I am sure Jerry will want to start framing, which buries the fasteners. So, if you want to tighten them later, the access may not be there. It's a mistake that will cost you a month on the schedule and a very simple rule was missed when constructing with concrete. It happens and people want to imagine ways around it when there really is not a safe way to. Always know your materials and with concrete, plan ahead so that month of curing time does not affect your production schedule. In this case, it delays the start of framing. Fastener manufacturer instructions will usually call for the concrete to be at full strength. I've never seen it different to date in a long spanning career in the construction industry.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
