Success! Sorry for the delay but my project was interrupted by the church's tractor needing some maintenance before the season started.
Looks like I have a solid running engine now. Things I improved on the second re-build, with your folks help; good honing, ring orientation, replacing the intake valve oil seals and I replaced both pistons with lightly used pistons with rings.
Fired the engine up today with no smoke at start up, did the recommended break in from the manual, 2-3 mins idle then 5-6 mins between idle and mid range. Let the engine cool and re-started 2 hours later and there was no smoke at start up as before and the plugs are very dry and clean.
Thanks so much for the useful help and advice. You all were awesome!
Thanks,
Dave
