MiDi,
I know it sucks ,but you are very lucky that you have a lot of good people who live near you , and are willing to help you , and do whatever they can do get you back running again.

I think you are becoming the Bob Ross of the /6 world , dont forget a touch of Van Dyke brown

Good luck

Dave

The cylinders are very smooth, and there is a thin ridge at the top. So, it'll be an easy fix.

Post subject:  Hmmm...
I'll look at the cranks I have... I'll see if I have a late crank and leave it in the 'dropbox'... if I don't you'll have to find one... or get one of the early one's THOR has and get the pocket reamed out... (price can't be as bad as getting a crank kit...)

Ok in the drop box is:
New Sealed Power Cs-380 cam, no lifters
New (out of the box, not installed) Timing Set
Degree wheel if you decide to dial the cam in correctly

I have two cranks, but both are 'pre'-68 with the small rear pocket...
they both have pilot bushings too...

Oy Veh...

moving the engine on the crane was impossable with my gravel driveway.
so i did what i could and got the job done. i also loaded it by my self. it's loaded and ( romper stomer ) - the slant six truck is full of gas.
tomorrow it rolls down south (slowly!) with it's precious cargo.

There are chunks of MiDi's engine all over my shop.

He's a good camper. He needs help, and doesn't pretend he knows something he doesn't! A good guy! He does know computers!

His cylinders mic'd out OK, and his journals look OK. We're putting it back together...sans the Nylon timing set! :shock: We'll put an oiler jet to the timing set before we put it back together!

Looks like he has a 68k Motor. We're going to update it a bit!

Anyway, we honed his motor, and now we're going to see how it reacts!

MiDi's engine is pretty much back together.

It's running over 100° out there! We're all sucking down the gatorade, and sweating our fool butts off.

Almost done!
