Any time I am working on the internal parts of an engine, repairs or rebuilds, I use this product. Never had to worry about not having moving parts protected. Always have a bottle around.[h=1]Permatex 81950 Ultra Slick Engine Assembly Lube[/h]

These are really basic engines with wide tollerances by modern engine standards,
So a shot of SAE 30 mower oil on all parts as they get assembled is fine.
If you are going to take 3 weeks to get it back together then perhaps some assembly lube, but I have never used it an am yet to have a rebuild failure due to insuficant lube during assembly.

Plus one on the permatex:thumbsup:
Valve question. Both look decent and a line is on one, but no tangible grooves. Ok to lap and put back together after checking clearances?

Wrong way round.
lapping will change the clearnaces so do it first.
Line ?

I think he means the gray stripe all around the valve............
Roger that. Yes. Lap first. Gray line but no groove.
Ok so I was checking valve clearances. TDC seems arbitrary on this thing. There is a point where the engine is at TDC but crank “releases” a bit. When I check clearances they aren’t great. When I back up and feel some resistance, spot on. Is this normal?
