Would you mind if I posted a link to my k301 I had started for you? Maybe the group would like to see and hear it! Anyhow, off the shelf from sitting at least a decade or more, the k301 fired right up with out problem.
Perhaps, you could have tried to start the k301 before you tore it down to determine engine operation conditions? I think I had the engine in, running, and back out with in an hour.
I know the ACR is a very simple device used to relieve compression slightly upon start up, and thus the weight swings out once started, relieving the tab that actuates the valve on start up. I'm not sure on tolerances to be checked to determine proper functions.
I would not let a broken skirt on my replacement scare you. If its the better of the two, use it! I'm going to lean on my block having the better cylinder measurement, but hey!
Keep up the progress!
