Quick and short update for everyone:

Had my cylinder bored just a little over stock to true up the bore, reason for doing this was, because when I placed the stock piston into the cylinder without rings it was a little sloppy. got the cylinder back from the shop along with the piston kit. Put everything back together, with good usage of sealer to be sure I wont get any air leaks. and I started haveing a coolant leak on the front of the head gasket, this was using a paper type head gasket so I replaced it with a OEM type I had laying around. Leak then went away.

Now it has great compression, no air leaks, and starts with the first kick. I have not yet been able to take it out for a ride yet, but I am pretty confident that as long as I stay with the 110 octane it will be fine.
