Hey Veggie ......
You better hurry up with the setup of your new baby ..... just saw the news and the snow you guys are getting!  No wonder that the vast majority of people in the world think that we live in igloo's <ROFL>

PS: Merry Christmas !!!

Ha Ha Ha, ( or should I say Ho Ho Ho!)
Fired up the wood stove today for the first time in 7 months.

I have the mighty Changfa, and a high speed 10HP/4kw Launtop diesel on standby.

I think it's prudent to strip down the Listeroid before first smoke.
(Good subject for a new thread)
I suppose I'll need a few months until I actually get it running.

I wasn't going to say anything, 'cause I understand how it is when you get a new engine.  But after completely tearing two down to nuts and bolts, and even stripping the paint down to bare iron, and then grinding that smooth, I have to say that's the way I'd recommend.  It's very enjoyable, not physically hard work, and gives you an unsurpassed opportunity to really grok your engine.  

Then, when you reassemble it and turn the last nut on it and smugly congratulate yourself on having no parts left over, unlike all those Japanese motorcycle engines you worked on, you'll know it's done right.  And when you have bled the last bubble out of the fuel system and you hear the first "Chuff - chuff - chuff" of your engine accelerating up to speed, well, it just doesn't get better than that.

I'll probably end up somewhere between quinnf and Jens.
Take some of it apart and see what I find. If the first samples look ok, I'll wipe everything down,
lube the key parts, put the covers on and fire it up.

The crankcase access port will give me good viewpoints to the far corners of the crank housing. Looking for signs of sand, slag etc....

Thanks,
Veggie

FYI,

The rep. for GTC listeroids advised that the maximum rpm for the 6/1 is 700.
