Thanks for all the input.

I disassembled the engine again. I set the crank at TDC and aligned the mark on the cam gear at the 6 o'clock position. I carefully reassembled everything and made sure everything was tightened up.

Once she was back together, I primed her and attached the glow plug. She cranked right over on the first time with my starter. I ran the engine up to 3900 rpm for another 15 minutes. She ran just as good as the first time I started her yesterday.

I have about 30-40 minutes run time below 4000 rpm. Is it safe to start leaning her out? Also what kind of rpm should I go for with an APC 16x6 prop? I was thinking in the 9500 rpm range.

Thanks again. Your advice is greatly appreciated, especially since this is my first 4-stroke engine.
