Do what you can afford first and for most, What engine is in this Scamp? second take your time follow with the service manual is the kit just a re-seal? or a real re-build kit with rod bearings? either way take your time for mine I just did what the kit offered I did not take out the crank or pistons. If it looks good in there I would not mess with it JMO..:glasses7:

Yeah, I'm just doing what I can afford to it. The car has the 225 in it and it's unfortunately not a super six, but it's still a very nice engine. The kit is just a seal kit, I couldn't find one that was a true rebuild kit. I'm going to strip the whole thing down and clean it up, but I'm just getting seals. I'm also thinking I might just get the compressor from the Fury in the junkyard just so I know how it comes apart before I strip mine apart and forget where something important goes. Plus, it's a sealed system and I may end up using parts from it because I would think it's in better condition on the top end. Why it's locked up, I don't know; it may just be the bearing is frozen and I'm trying to turn the engine over.
