I only took a couple pics of the motor once dismantled so I just stuck the one up for reference, but I took the motor down, checked 3 random rod bearings and 2 main cap bearings , all perfect. Compressed air force fluid oil ports, thoroughly cleaned everything then applied liberal oil coating, re-torqued all fasteners on crank, now take a look at the little motor, I got carried away and painted the chrome valve covers with wrinkle black as the air breather cap. Looks ready to run yes? here's the kicker, the oil pan is held on with 4 bolts, the heads each have 2 bolts, the intake 2 bolts, headers 2 each, carb has all 4, unsure why I put all the carb bolts on, anyway I did this to protect the good short block and the top end parts while deciding which way to go, it's now bagged with dry-sorb but if I had not told ya you would have thought it a go? I'm tired seeing as I think it amusing to post this, time for bed, lol
hook a starter to it right there and hook up a battery and let er RIP RIP APART THAT IS if it did start it would definitely be all bad the neighbors would definitely be mad about the noise smoke and parts flying through there window lol
then there option B make a couch out of that bad boy and use it in your man cave or front room the wife would get used to it lol
LOL.. you've obviously never met my wife. I've been doing all this stuff long enough that I get the "evil eye" whenever parts make their way into my house. I think she's still pissed off about all the coatings I used to bake in our oven. Two things I see wrong there. Poor choice of disty with cheap "built in coil".. and way too small a diameter AND height air cleaner. Neither will be good for power production even if you can keep it together long enough to start it up. Although, you might have a better chance of avoiding damage here if you use Z-Max since it still soaks into metal even after the class action lawsuit was won years ago.
