Hey Guys Well I've gotten the engine back together(minus the radiator for now).
I fixed the cam gear to it's proper alignment with the crank gear, put the cover back on and the head, noticed that the front yoke looked sad so i went underneath to discover that someone had put a really short spring a brake roller a huge washer and two smaller washers before and after the spring.
So that was another project to replace that with the correct parts. In the mean time some of the threads were stripped on one of the yoke to block bolts, replaced that also.
After adding some more gas . it started on the fourth turn over, with so much smoke coming out of the back (probably from all the MMO) that my neighbor across the street came running over, figuring that i had given up on it and set it on fire, lol
Well again i only ran it for 30 seconds, sounds like it has plenty of power: tomorrow the radiator!! Progress is our only product.
Again thanks for all the great advice.
