Lucky sob.

It seems I'm really going to need that starter more than I thought. I have to rotate the motor by hand to get it away from TDC before I can get the motor to run. Something is seriously wrong with my block. I think I got the wrong size bearings, even though they were marked standards.

Other than that the motor runs fine once its spinning. Idles perfectly and sounds healthy. So I'll wait and see if something lets go during the break in process.
