Well the reason why I started this thread was because I put the topend back on and did not replace the rings or hone and she wont start. Compression tests suggest that it may be the rings. Not much compression as I turn it over, but when I put some oil in through the spark plug hole and crank it the compression builds up almost to specs. I bought a gasket kit off of ebay that had the whole topend but the bottom gasket was not like the original, kinda just like paper. Does that matter. Anywho gonna rip it apart and rehone and get some rings too. Hopefully that should solve the compression. I checked the valves and put them to specs but no improvemnt. The crank had seized so I replaced it and didnt change anything so I figured it should of started once I replaced it and put it back together?? Thanks for the info
