[DeTomaso] Engine re-assembled.

[Dave Londry]

Thanks Man.
 I have my 2 degrees out of the timing and ethanol-loaded fuel.
After that, all I have left is to put my 650 carb in place of the 800 
and take 0.015 out of the plug gap.
Really I'm hoping it was the valve guides (changed along with everything 
else in the heads) dribbling oil at low revs.
Russ looked at my piston photos and thought it was oil past the pistons, 
but I'm hoping for guides.
