Hey everyone, just an update on the beast. Removed the block, took out the cam, crank, pistons, mains, timing cover, timing chain, Ect...

First things first, the timing chain only had one bolt holding it in and that was finger loose making the bolt hole hollowed out. New timing chain now needed.

The rear main seal was shot, the pistons are burned on top, the oil holes for the cam bearings were not lined up but i have read that some types don't require it. How can you tell though?

I don't know what to look for to make sure the components are good, like the block, rods, heads, pistons Ect...

I want to re use as much as I can to keep things original but don't want to miss something and have to take it all back apart. I saw a shop online called promar? Only $2500 for a complete motor shipped.

Any thoughts or ideas are highly needed. Thanks everyone.

Steve
