1100G low compression, burns oil.

Great job! Keep going, it's all going to be worth it!

With cylinders on. And cylinders oiled. And if I hold the cam chain so doesnt bunch up, I can turn the crank (clockwize) with a wrench real easy, see pistons going up and down. But I hear little "sshhhh" sound. I assume that is new rings "seating in".
It turns easy, doesnt really coast along after I let off.

I hesitate to ask, but:
What do any of you experienced engine rebuilders say ? ?

[Nessism]

Sounds normal. There should be some sound of friction, since the rings are spring loaded to push out into the cylinder walls. In actual use combustion pressure pushes the rings into the cylinder walls (excepting the oil ring.)

Looking good Dave!
