It needs a rear main so pulling the motor is logical. I'm just low on space to work, time and money. I'll check out the top end Monday and stick in an eliminator kit (their only $25 online). Once I get it running I'll do a compression check to see if the motor is worth the time and effort. Once it passes that test I'll pull it out, check the caps, change the oil pan gasket and rear main. Since I have it out I might as well install the clutch that has been sitting my closet for the past month.
Can anyone recommend a good "brand" of balance shaft elim kit? There are a couple online. Do you get what you pay for?
