She's alive!!! It fired right up then I drove it a mini 30 mile break in, changed the oil, and now I gotta get another 400 on it and change the oil again. It's running super smooth and feels like it has more HP than the tired motor.

     Well that is great news, always liked having a brand new motor in a vehicle, almost makes you want to change it out every couple of years.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Congrats!  A new motor is always satisfying!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
