The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting some of those machine marks out.
I know I can get them all but I don't want to get into the gasket area  :|
Maybe a few more hours of fondling it will help  :-o
Or, if any of you have some suggestions......

I was giving you a hard time :-o, but, if you could chuck it up in a 4 jaw, and run at a safe speed. Watch the fingers!

Yeah, I knew you were.
I wasn't really happy with the squish area so I will try again next week.

 Quit making your fingers dirty and sore. :-D

 Put the head on and apply your talents to something beneficial. There are no gains to be had from a mirror finish, in fact it may be counterproductive, especially in the squish area.

  Polish rant over,
