can you feel any play in the bottom end?

i have 3 044s and 440 now and all have good tight bottom ends and have been sitn around for a long time

the bump you feel might be the flywheel comeing around and hitting the magnet on the coil

I think that's the bump, it's on the coil. I filled the case up with some Sae30 motor oil and turned it over a few times, it all feels good, even the rod bearing does now too. perfectly smooth.
 
I've about decided to just throw the thing back together and see if it will run as is with a little work and not even split the case right now. I've got a feeling the bearings aren't even bad. This diamond in the rough is looking better all the time
 
I was going to tell you that I would pay the shipping and take over your project for you but it sounds like you might be keeping it. If you decide to part ways with it let me know.
