Do you have access to a digital torque wrench?

[Hansen01]

Yup

[Hansen01]

well... it started and ran!but had a slight knock, well a huge knock, scared the crap outa me(thought it was gonna blow up loud),lol but we got it figured out now, pushrod was not set in correctly and bent the crap out of it, hope to have a new one in a day or two, then hopefully it runs without any big noises
