One word of advice, set the engine to zero timing before taking it apart or you can break the engine just by taking it apart. Also buy a set of cam locking tools right off the bat. This is no Chevy 350, it's quirky, almost a puzzle to take apart and re-assemble.
I have watched the videos on YouTube, very helpful but not enough info.
Thanks for the heads up in locking the engine up.
Where did you get the proper info and instructions to rebuild your engine? What did your rebuild entail?
I’m thinking, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, rings, chains, guides, heads machined.
I’d like to hear how you went about rebuilding your engine.
