Strip Down Completed
Created on 2005-11-12 14:56:43
I just finished stripping down the engine. I only found copper showing on two bearings. If I'm luck on the main journals will need to be ground down. I also found the cylinder walls to be in good condition; no scoring of the cylinder walls according to my finger nail. There is a perceivable bump at the the top of the cylinder wall. I'm not sure if that means that the cylinders will have to be bored out or just honed to remove the top ridge. Also, the cam shafts appears to be in very good condition to me; on obvious wear makes on the lobes. Considering that the engine has around 80,000 miles on it, I think it is in very good condition.
