Default RE: Beginner Engine Help!

Jeffie,
Thanks I will try that. Also hard should the prop be to turn when the piston is at the TDC? The reason I ask is if the piston is sitting at TDC and I try to turn the prop it feels like it's jammed but once I get it into motion then due to the momentum it feels a little loose.
When I opened up the head I saw there is a cylinder sleeve around the piston that is pushed up a notch when the piston reaches TDC. Is that normal? Should the piston be pushing up on the cylinder sleeve? My initial guess was that is how it pulls in the fuel but I may be wrong.
