Mo' progress
Well after a bit of R&R in the NC mountains (on a new-to-me Transalp) I been wrenchin' on the XLS. Got to the point of determining whether the cam timing was correct. I always like to do this before I put any oil in. Just wanna hear it pull a bit on both cylinders. And that takes some careful listening. (more on the ignition timing later)
I can only imagine the umpteen dozen reasons windbag "experts" will offer as to why one should never do this. HAHAHAHAHA!
I do it on every engine I've ever assembled, and tomorrow I dumps some oil in and lets her idle a bit. Of course, I'll add a carbie and gasoline, just to keep things under control. When you anoint the intake manifold with starting juice, you got no steenking control over the throttle.
Anyhow, the test entrusting lubrication to the engine assembly goo:
