Restart the rebuild
I havent done anything other than gather more parts in 3 years. For some of those 3 years it only had a tarp thrown over top. Altho it was well oiled/stored I wasnt confident that it was clean. I decided to remove pistons, clean and reinstall.
I decided to test fit cam and measured #1 lobe lift. 0.333" intake, 0.330" exhaust. Spec is 0.331" Call it good with my lousy measuring skills.
Cam spun nice, no binding.
Test fit new MP distributor drive gear # P3690715. Good there too.
Test fit lifter in every bore, seems good there too.
The next step is to double chk piston rings. Everything seemed within spec, but the proper orientation is in question.
#'s on box 40787-30, 2m694-030.
Also inspect #7 rod journal, bearing appears to have an issue.
Oh ya, measured depth of oil gallery plug with wooden skewer, approx 7 1/2", good there.
