Looked at your pic ,looks pretty clean. Any oil on your oil cooler? Did you get an oil cooler guard( R & G ) one rock can ruin your whole day. I need to crank or jog the engine to tdc for forward and aft cylinders to preform the test,that's why I asked about the stator cover. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my description.
