1966 Dart GT 225
I've got the block apart, here's the damage:
#1 piston had a broken top ring.
The camshaft wasn't swapped with the valve train - still the solid lifter camshaft.
Really bad oil coking throughout the inside of the motor.
I can't find any marks on most of the rod bearings except for ".001 u/s" on a few of them.
The only markings I see on the main bearings are "70" on all of them. I don't have a mic to inspect the journal diameter.
The main and rod bearings are shot, but I really don't see any scratching on the crank journals.
Moral of the story is make sure you do your research before swapping parts, eh? And change your oil, kiddies!
Edit: now I've got a big mixed up pile of junk regarding the valve train and I need to figure out where to go from here. I'll need to source correct parts to go either hydraulic or solid, right now I have half of each setup.
