It's great to have someone actually listen to others input and grasp the importance of some things,For that I salute you and it may save you abit of money also.Not sure if you already installed the clutch cover and installed the stator and flywheel but Every one I build for myself or customers I leave that stuff off when I do the leak down test it makes it alot easier to check the crank seals and drive gear key for leaks as well.
