They were on, but I took them off this morning as I explored what the issue was.
I replaced the jugs and pistons with an S&S kit taking it from a 96 to a 107 and gapped & installed per the included directions. Don't recall ATM what the gap was.

The reason I asked about how tight the rings are, I have seen rings turn over tight in jugs. If a person were to finisish instailling they additional mass migh make them really tight.
Did he lube the walls with oil? If he is applying as much force as his says, tight gaps or stuck rings would probably be overcome???? Though is probably doesn't hurt to lube it up. But also if so, would you want new rings?
Something hitting in the valves?? When was the last time was spun?

You wouldn't take the sprocket shaft spacer out to do top end work. You would have to remove the rotor to expose it. Did he pull apart the bottom end or just the top end? Due to lack of info, I was thinking just top end, but he does say rebuilt.
I would not put a 140 lbs of force on it again, myself. if it is not turn, I would want to know why.
