Tear-down and inspection begins.
|

Other than 2 stuck lifters...the pistons and cylinders look pretty
ok.
|
|

|

|
|

|

Oil pan off and somewhat dirty oil but more important there are
needle bearings and other chunks of metal at the magnetic drain
plug.
|
|

I pulled this junk off the magnet.
|

The timing gear looks ok.
|
|

The cam looks like this at #7 intake/exhaust. I've seen worse
where the lobes were worn down and the lifters were not damaged as
much. In this case the lifters are severely damaged and the
cam is not so bad.
|

The oil pump turns freely.
|

|

|

You can see the lifter.
|
|

|

|
|

The pistons and piston rings looked ok. Actually pretty
good. the rod bearings look horrible though. All have
dirt damage.
|

|
|

The main bearings look horrible. Lots of dirt damage.
|

|
|

The crankshaft spun very freely but certainly it will need to be
ground and polished.
|

|
|

Here is the reason for the debris.
|

The cylinder bores are in pretty good shape in my opinion.
|
|

Old piston comes off for balance weight.
|

|

Old piston/pin/ring/wire lock combo is 584 grams

|

|

New flat top SRP Pro pistons #268830

|
|

New balance card.
