Burning a lil oil now weren't we......

Just a bit of denotation probably to do with that cheap gas. [Razz]

You can turn the motor over for sure to clean it all up. Not a 100% sure but you didn't even set tdc before pulling it all apart. [Razz] Anyways once your ready to put the heads back on find tdc and leave it there so when you go back to put in the distriburator it's easier.

clean the tops off if you wish.

Less carbon build up could help it from detonating.
