72 duster resto
Well im soaking pistons and cleaning up my heads a bit.
On my crank, not sure still. Quoted $295 to grind it 10/10 - but... at the end of that I still have a stock crank. I could just hunt out a forged crank and then at least the money isn't being spent on stock parts so.... Hmmm
I think I'm just gonna run what I got. I'll polish the journals more on the crank and see how they turn out- if I can run my fingernail across them without getting snagged, thats good enough for me. End of the day, this isn't going to be a forever motor. I'll swap out the cam bearings as well as the rest of the rebuild. Do a mild port on the heads and just start reassembly
Anyone have recommendations on rebuild kits out there? So many with different options and hard to tell what quality can be gotten. Ideally i'd like Felpro for gaskets, Clevite for bearings, and standard set of rings with a hi-flow oil pump. Not sure on timing chain brand though.
