Gotta catch up again....
when you glazed do you mean the oil was too thin and disrupts the break in process?
I assembled the engine myself
The motor was already bored over when i bought it. I took it to the machine shop to have it all inspected before assembly. Block, crank, heads. The machinist did my cam bearings, my valve seats and checked the bores and crank for any disformities or damage. Everything checked out ok. At least as ok as i trust the machinist.
As far as sizing/honing i couldnt tell you as i left that all t him.
Since installing the heads i havent looked at them but again, they checked out at the shop
The rings are sealed power moly rings
The pistons and rods fit very tight, no sway or anything from my knowledge
The heads arent too hard to remove. Just have to remove the pulleys and intake/distibutor. Ive got tons of room under the hood it is quite nice
The heads were torqued to 65 ft lbs and i went over them 2 or three times to ensure they didnt loosen at all
Oil pan isnt too bad to remove. Its not a 4x4, just usual frustrations because it sits over the crossmember
