Ok, I've been on vacation for Christmas and I am glad to see my thread is still alive. I do, however, need a vocabulary lesson since I am a noob to this engine stuff and my huge manual is back in Rochester. Please define and clarify the following terms:

The more cuts you make, the thinner the sealing area is going to be.
Valve guide
Leakdown
Pistol and mortar effect
Laminar flow
My main point of confusion is all the talk about cutting. What are you cutting, making cuts with, etc? Thanks for those of you who can clarify some of this for me.
