I did not mention my other self inflicted problem.
I always think I know better. So, because I thought I'd be taking this engine apart again, and since I was only "testing" it running a little. I thought I'd do the smart thing, and not tighten the flywheel to specs. I figured "gootentight" would be good enough. After all, I broke three pullers getting that darn flywheel off the first time, I wasn't gonna go through that again. Well, well, well. It turns out, it wasn't the smart thing!
I sheered the Woodruff Key between the flywheel and the crankshaft! doh
The good news is, that flywheel was real easy to take off this time!
And when you think about it, with the timing off a bit, this may be part of the reason I smoked the gears in the starter motor. Backfires while trying to start it, spinning things forcibly backwards. Don't really know, but a possibility.
And you guys thought I knew what I was doing.
