I'm at that point (Head job vs New Motor)
Ha! Jokes........ Everything went well so far. At initial start up I ran it for about 40 minutes at a high idle (Guessing 1500-2000rpm) then dialed it down. By ear, 35 BTDC seems close for now. I still need to dial in the lash and carb. I expected it to get really hot but it stayed relatively cool.
