That does start very well. Has to be good shape all in all to allow it to do that.

Don't know why they would suggest to do it hot, cool engine is well accepted as the preferable way both for reasons of accuracy and easier/more pleasant work. Many engines only provide a cold spec... I suppose the only reason they gave a warm spec for these was to allow garages to work on them promptly when they came in for service without having to wait overnight.

Interested to hear if bumping up the clearance on that one cylinder improves it.
