degreeing a slant camshaft with no cam card

No, I would not recommend trying to hone it with the pistons in it.


If you want to knock the rust off the cylinder walls, get a 3" or 4" wire wheel on a drill to clean the cylinders. Then if you are going to store it, coat the cylinder walls with STP or Motor Honey.

I ended up using kero and a scotchbrite. Worked pretty good.

This engine has some tight spots when spinning it. I notice that as well with the spare engine that is sitting in my parts truck but this one may be tighter. Hard to say for sure since this one is up on a stand and so its not nearly as stable as the engine still bolted in the chassis.

Hard to get a real smooth revolution of it. Prob. going to serve what I want to do with it for now though.
