Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
While 26000 isn't that many miles, the problems come from when they sit for long periods of time without being run. The seals dry out & the rings sometimes get stuck. If you have it apart, hone the cylinders & re-ring it. Also, install new valve seals & lap the valves. If will be a pretty fresh motor if you do these things & if you were to do a few other things you could get quite a bit more power fairly easily & without a lot of expense. Ray.

I will be happy if it doesnt smoke,
Just some little 75mm pistions
Ditto everyone else - I'd replace those rings if you've pulled the head. It isn't a lot ofe extra effort / cost.
If you're like me, just invest in a magnifying glass so that you see the marks on the rings which tell you which side is up
