I did the piston soak thing, let it sit for about an hour, and went back to crank it up. I thought I hydrolocked it, but I kept cycling the starter and it eventually fired up. There's a noticeable improvement in smoothness.

I actually ended up adding far more than I thought (about an ounce per cylinder), and it was dumping out the white smoke for a good 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure the upper cylinder is sparkling now! lol

Also changed the oil right after that.
