1.0 yes, the cart mods were something I had incorporated during the initial build.
2.0 yes Tim,I did a full run in to check for oil/water leaks, 12volt generator electrical system performance, vacuum check, set timing/points and a cursory cylinder compression check ...but my main intention was to bed in the piston rings. Everything went off without a hitch. No vibration either on the stand!
I retorqued the cylinder head bolts after all the tests also.
This was my first Stovebolt type motor build so I wanted to ensure I didn't screw something up prior to dropping into the frame.
Thank you for your positive remarks.
Mike
