Buddy,
The cam and crank look great! I would give lots of credit to the Pall filter system you have on the dry sump return lines. Also did you use straight 50 wt oil as we discussed? as it the crank looks a lot better than last year.

We did go to straight 50W oil, and between that and the Pall filters, the cam and crank look great!

The head gasket on the passenger side was was not properly aligned on the dowel pins, and 'slipped' down partially over the chambers, causing the markings on the pistons. We'll dress the pistons, and address the head gasket issue upon reassembly.

other than the head bolts cracking the port, and the bearing in the bear drive, the only other casualty is the bearing on the fuel pump spud drive-it was shot.

All in all, it looks to me like we need to push this thing harder! Lol!

here is a few shots of the crank





What is with the picture thing? When I reply with quote I can see the pic address but on the site there's nothing!
Google the pic address gives nothing. Where can I view the pics? pretty annoying.
Cutting out the brackets and "IMG" i get this but just a black screen and one white pixel.

Well, Buddy and I finally got together at my place this weekend to do the tear down on the motor ,, here are the results ..

well it looks as after a few self inflicted wounds,(( cracking of the block, head gasket issues, and edge clearance issues on the main bearings )) the motor held up fantastically . All the bearings look great, the scoring in the cylinders can be honed out. ect.

as for the self infliction -- the Block was looked at by the owner of lock-n-stich and he explained the process of the repairs to the cracks, and we feel this is the way to go. I will see if we can get some progress pictures of the repairs and post them. We also spent some time with Kenny Boyd at his shop to look over all the parts and he was impressed with the condition of the parts so we will proceed with having the block repaired, then to Kenny's shop for pressure testing the block, clearancing the main bearings, honing of the bores and lapping the valves. Buddy is working on ordering new coated bearings and new rings.

Here are the pics

cam held up great with the new roller lifter setup as did the lifters and blocks



Charlie, I'm not sure what's going on with the pics, but thanks for posting them up for those that can't see them.

Here are so more.....

now for self infliction !!!!!! we scored the top edge of 4 pistons on one side of the block by not having the head gasket aligned correctly you can see the interference in the pics








.....and here are the rest!

You can see how the gasket installation allowed interference with the piston.

I'm wondering if you have to be registered on jalopyjournal.com to see the pictures or even any sign of them. The only way I get to see where they are is to hit the quote button and it shows them as Charlie showed. When I go into the source there's still only a blank page.

You guys that can see the pictures must think we're nuts because there's absolutely nothing that even indicates you're trying to post a picture.

Totally blank, both with Mozilla firefox 24.0 and Explorer. Vista OP. java updated. No pics. I installed a gadget for Mozilla that should take care of pics with some kind of backslash in the address, but that didn't help. Slashy 1.8.0. I don't know if it is in function, he wanted a donation.
The last I can see in the HAMB is still only the attached thumbnails in reply 699. Same same as reply 2051 here. After that something must have changed.
No, I can see the reposted pics later on page  140, sorry but only those.

Can everyone see the pics after the are re-posted as a 'quote?

Maybe SSS can weigh in on this-certainly is strange to me!
