Bottom end disassembly complete


bento

I finished tearing down the bottom end and getting all the manifold studs removed from the head. Lots of signs of wear as I would expect from a 43 year old engine that doesn't appear to have ever been rebuilt.

This post is basically just a photo dump to have a future reference. I got a new toy and will probably post an update in the next few days after I put it to use;

Need to reshoot the crankshaft. I thought I took a photo of each, but apparently not. Here are a couple photos. I need a micrometer. I doubt the calipers are accurate enough for this. Time to order another toy.

Several of the head bolts were really stuck in the head. Oil sludge collected in the passages and since there's a shoulder at the top end of the head bolt threads, it prevented the bolts from coming out. It took several rounds of brakleen, penetrating oil, and a bit of pulling and twisting to finally get them out.

I need to do a bunch of cleaning now. And pull the wrist pins so I can toss the pistons. Then get the crank, rods, block, and both heads off to a machinist to look everything over.
