<VV> Stuck rings cure

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Well sure, go ahead and do it the easy way.  Now if it was Kevin Willson or
yours truly, we'd be tearing that sucker apart.  What's the fun in driving
them if you don't completely dismantle them first and lose about 1/2 the
real critical parts?  GGGGG

Good luck,

Looks like the consensus is MMO in the combustion chambers.  I 
calculate the chambers at around 50cc each, so about an ounce should 
get squeezed up high on the pistons.  I forgot some details:

  - Engine was bought from another person - I've never heard it run 
until this past Sunday.
  - Has no lower shrouds/stats at this point.
  - Belt/fan installed and operational.
  - I did turn it by hand prior to installing, gave it a shot of oil per 
cyl then, but not MMO.
  - Oil system primed prior to start.
  - Nothing seemed wrong while turning.
  - Blowby was immediate on startup.
  - Car drives, seems to have ok power, just oily.

We'll see!
