I'm going to definitely look at my valve timing.  If I recall
correctly from when I did my cam timing back in January, the TDC mark
on the flywheel was off just a fraction from real TDC (perhaps a
centimeter or slightly more).  Hopefully things are still OK in there.
I know the engine needs to be re-ringed, but other than that, it seems
to fun great.

Thanks,
Bryan
