Ok so I can prop the crank in the corner, good
I hafta mic the journals anyway to see if it's still serviceable Lotsa measuring to do!
So far we got two manuals from Speedway. All i'm doing this week is just the teardown and finding a machine shops that know about them blocks. Tearing into it so far it seems like somebody attempted a few repairs with too many beers in em. I found a few nuts and pieces of metal siliconed near some valve guides. And so far I found one valve froze onto a broken guide and NO I didn't break it I removed it that way.
The cam wasn't moving the fuel pump enough to work either Changing cam and bushing and pushrod and fuel pump itself.
OK say I can't find a machine shop. If that's the case I may just clean the walls and add new rings. But I hope i can do better of course.
Anyway i'm tearing into it tomorrow, interesting to see what else is broken.Got lots of chrome,
It's good for show,
But when I hit the gas,
The pig won't go!
