Better the devil you know.

Everything reinstalled with much care, all new studs, washers nuts, torqued to spec in the criss cross  method, exhaust on and I did a compression test, slightly better at about 105psi, not 120 odd like it should be, but better than 90. plug in, fuel on and as per every other day three kicks and she was ticking away nicely. I took it out for a spin, about 40km around town, all speeds up to 85 and up some good long hills, didn't miss a beat, in fact it didn't feel any different at all. This is a good thing.
New rings will be on order along with a few other small items first thing tomorrow.
Now I know whats going on in there and if she dies, she dies. until then, it's business as usual.
