Aggressive Ted, your car is really nice. I like the little heat deflector you made for the carb and fuel line. Also, nice R/C boat. I never got into the boats but did get into the nitro trucks for a while. Anyway, I think for now I am just going to stick a stock grind cam in there. I still plan to mill the head a little and bore it but that will be it. I will check with Oregon cam grinders as I will obviously have my old bump stick laying in the garage and might as well use it for the next cam. I really hope to order a kit tomorrow and start working on getting the engine ready to come out. I was wondering, are the piston pins pressed in? I was looking in my manual and it said at room temp they should be a forced push? I don't really know what that means. My main reason for asking is I was wondering if I need to have the shop press them in. Also, should the stock rods be fine? I am assuming I should get them magnafluxed or something to make sure they are in good shape but I shouldn't need new ones unless it is bent or something right? I actually read that they are forged? I will let you all know what I decide tomorrow. Thanks for all the help.
Thanks! :D It's a work in progress and the results are a real encouraging!
Lots of small changes have helped mileage consistency.
The pins are frozen and pressed into the rods.
I sent my old cam to Delta Cams in Tacoma, WA. Regrind was $35.
Your stock rods should be fine however, I had mine re-sized, Magna fluxed and shot peened.

So green1970. I'm in Knoxville and might do a slant rebuild. What rebuild kit did you go with? Find a machine shop?
