Motor rebuild: Step 2 What we have for wear and tear
The engine tear down went well with Sieggy's over-sight. He had me tear most of it down myself and provided guidance where required. As we suspected the cylinders were pretty good, the pistons show some wear and the crank well it's not so good. The cam appears to have extensive damage as well, it almost looks like it was dropped on a floor at some point. I didn't have a valve spring tool so we had to stop at that point and evaluate what we have to work with in the bottom end. We will pull the top end out in a few days. After that is done a visit to a good machine shop for a caustic bath, mag particle test and complete measurement of key components will happen.
