Default Toooo tight!

You might be right about the 50lbs to turn the engine after a new bore on the bloock with new rings.

I don't believe it takes 50 lbs to turn. maybe I'm just nervous about all the cash I sank into it and don't want to trash the engine.

I'll finish checking the rear seal and piston gap on the other pistons then re-assemble everything, since I can't seem to find any problems.

Glad you guys could offer some help. I'll post the results when I fire it up.

Johnny
