Ivy II: Fire Test Go!

Playing with the new soldering iron.  Made the static timer a lot more bulletproof.

Downstairs, added the alternator gasket, tighten the camshaft and advance bolt.

Torqued head cover bolts to 10 ft.lb.  Too gun shy to go higher but maybe will go up even slower to 14.

Added 850 mL of fresh oil.

But initially, was getting nothing trying to kick it over.  Wasn't even coughing.  Was cold, too, in the mid fifties.

Then reset the air screw to 1 1/4 turns out (from 1 1/2) and suddenly she fired.

Let her run for a few minutes until noticed a giant leak from the left cover.  But left that for another day.
