    Exactly. And it still doesn't run.

    A seizure stops it from running in my experience. Or did it fall to the ground twitching and flopping uncontrollably?

    It was not a crank bearing. Forcing that bearing in was not in any way ideal, I was stumped with what to do at the time, and already stressed out enough over other things. Again, my mistake, no sense in calling me out on it now. Transmission is put together as it should be, thrust washers in the correct places, shifts through all the gears. I do have my doubts about it, using a bearing that is not OEM for one, not replacing every bearing with a brand new one, shift forks with irregular wear due to past mistakes, etc.

    I mentioned it before, I already bought 3 different sized needles ranging from rich to lean. Going to use that as a starting point before i do anything else. Everyone in this thread kept pushing pressure testing is why I was posting about it, FYI.
    Yup I'm well aware of what you can buy new, I, like many others in this thread have been doing this sh!t for a long time.
    Problem is, if you're not sure what the stock needle was are you just gonna guess? Roast another piston? NOS gives you the needle that came in the machine from the factory, the proper place to start jetting.

    Forcing anything during a rebuild is not only "not ideal", it's the wrong thing to do period. If you're stumped and stressed, you walk away for awhile, take a break.

    That's why I bought a range of needles. Put the richest one in first, if it bogs and sputters, and the plug reads black, go leaner, if it still runs hot, white plug, order a richer needle, or take a step back and re-evaluate what the engine is doing.

    The talking here is ridiculous. 10+ people bitching because the motor didn't pass a pressure test PERFECTLY. If you believe fixing this minuscule air leak will fix my problem, provide some actual god damn experience and insight into it. Like an actual example of how much difference fixing an air leak like that did on an engine.

    You wanna help, how about a god damn phone call, instead of talking about what I've done in the past with this. I'm not throwing my cell out on a public forum tho.

    Logan, just take it to the local builder you trust so much and have him tell you what to do since you don't trust anyone here. Problem solved.

    No need to keep this thread going really.

    Why is it that a professional such as yourself needs Internet help anyway. Every time you ask a question, the answers aren't good enough for you and then your snatch ends up bleeding all over.

    You may want to withhold your comments until you have your "I just bought 2 non-running motors, I'm gonna swap one into my X" built and running, lest you end up in the same boat.
