Got Bewst?
iTrader: (8)
we could check them, no?
idk if you saw my pics from a few pages back but minus the pistons looking dirty and a ring of carbon buildup (plan to clean) the cylinder sleeves look great
who knows..
no chance of being able to slap a set of pistons in is there? i'd need new rods, yes? and at that point well i may as well sleeve the MF but i wanna be on the road in march

ok update time
tonight we got the ole' crank out. my oem bearings all look perfect so we may just reuse them to ensure proper fitment, since we can't gauge them for clearances when reinstalled. but we'll see.
i got a dual pass endplate that was leaking a little bit if anyone wants same with a phenolic spacer that was NOT leaking
crank and head goes to machine shop tomorrow. keyways getting extended and the heads getting re-decked and cleaned.
think this next weekend motors going all back together, and hopefully back in the car the next

SO ready, man. lol.
couple of drawbacks and its definately gonna take longer to put abck together than to take apart, but i think i'm done buying parts.
oh yeah p.s. just ordered the NBS delete bushings from levelzero. the Nuetral Balance shafts i bought used from someone are junk far as i can tell; whatcha gonna do.

That's how it goes sometimes haha.
I have a build of my own starting soon......and there are always parts that you don't think of, or stuff you decide to upgrade while you are in there haha

There was some marring where one of the lash adjusters seems to have blown up so i cleaned it up with a dremel, and honestly the head just doesnt look that clean, theres still some gasket material on it etc so im getting it redecked and cleaned
