318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat
Rods are back from the shop and all is well. Pistons, cam, and timing set installed. Measured bore and depth of the cylinders to calculate compression ratio while I wait for the timing cover gasket to arrive. Also drilled out one of the cam thrust plate bolts to give it the oiling hole it needed.
Gonna hit up some engine shops tomorrow to see if they have any junk solid lifters I can have to check piston to valve clearance, since I’ll be using hydraulic lifters.
