      Commonly available pump gas won't do for 11.5 compression on one of these old style 2 valve combustion chambers. If it's not too late I'd send those pistons back and get the ones you wanted.

      BTW, looks like a fun project. Keep the photos coming.

            Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

                compression hight of 1.010. the head was only resurfaced and i am using a nos metal head gasket. if anyone knows what compression ill get. one thing i noticed is it seize gs1000 so do i have a 1.010 compression hight with a 1000 stroke crank or a 1100. another reason not to do the motor myself
