Your camshaft is toast, but we already knew that.
Google, can you make an album there?

Forgot to mention - as a tip, use a flashlight to ensure you've got all of the bolts/nuts/etc. removed that holds the case together. I was seeing day light around 2/3's of the case, but it was not wanting to let go. checked, double checked, and counted. All seemed good. Still didn't want to let go. Took a flashlight and found a nut towards the bell housing covered in oil/tar/grunge/goop that I had overlooked. Removed it, and it came apart like butta'.
What nut towards the bell housing?Amskeptic wrote:Be very very sure that you have the center 13mm bolt out of the left half that hides between #3 and #4 lifter bores.

Yeah.TrollFromDownBelow wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 5:20 pmHow about the nut towards the front left side of the case?

I didn't mind investing the time to learn how to do it, However, my biggest fear was that I'd get everything put all back together, and I'd have to rip it back out, and split the case again to fix something I did wrong. I really, really, did not want to have to do this twice.
Rich is genuinely nice guy, and he knows his stuff! His shop was immaculately clean and tidy....until my parts were spewed all over the place. We spent a good 30-45 minutes going over the build, he was very generous with his time. I felt his prices were very reasonable for the quality of work that he does. Initially I was going to have him build a short block, but decided to have him go ahead and build a long block. After he's had a chance to inventory and evaluate all of my parts, he'll let me know what else, if anything, he's going to recommend to have done.

Expec to have it completed by the end of this week or next. Then I just need a weekend with some temps in the 60's and no rain (garage is too short to install the engine inside).
Anyone have a recommendation of how to transport the complete engine home in the back of my truck w/o having it slide around? I was thinking of making a simple wood box that the lower end of the case could sit on...thoughts?
