Did I mess up? I just rebuilt a Continental N62 for my Earthmaster tractor. Had a machine shop grind the crank, install new valve guides, and grind the seats. I didn't hand-lap the valves before I put the thing together. Just got it running tonite, and it doesn't run as smooth as I had expected.

Anyhow, it's getting on toward 1:00 am, time to get some shut-eye so's I can work tomorry. Thanks
