Motor is torn down and ready for new parts, seals, etc... I have kind of a parts list that I can get over to you lloyd in a pm. I will ramble off some stuff here also just so you guys can mention anything that you can think of while the motor is up on a stand (which makes this WAY easy to work on). There is still a couple of things to yank off like the cams, the gear behind the harmonic balancer stuff like that. mostly minor things are left to pull off but I may start playing with getting the valve stem seals off on a cylinder, also will require me to get a spring compressor of some kind.

here are some pics of this project (I cant believe I remembered pictures) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />







Here is the plenum with the butterfly valves eliminated





these are some pictures of the cams, and one of the cams is off time by one tooth. This will obviously be corrected when I put everything back together.

These cams are good.



Driver side head, inner cam one tooth off.



This motor ran real strong and never seemed to have any problems. So this may also be of some good info for Jinstv (probably spelled that wrong, sorry)

Hopefully thats enough photos for you guys. Here are a couple of things I was thinking.

Parts Needed:
- Valve cover gaskets
- Cam seal plugs
- Front crank seals
- Thermostat w/Gasket
- Plenum Gasket (one on there to me should not be reused
- Valve stem seals

Parts we have:
- Rear main seal
- New Crank bolt
- Lifters

I'll PM you lloyd about some more I was thinking and it only depends on your opinion.

Let me know if anyone else can think of anything else
