Budget Build 5.9 for a 71 Scamp
I got the block and heads over to the machine shop today, and the cam is shipped to Oregon! Woo!
This morning as I finished the teardown, I took a couple pics of some of the con rod bearings. I think they looked kinda rough, I'll be replacing them. The main bearings looked better but I'm gonna do those too.
Funny, the rearmost con rods had the most wear, and that's also where the lifters were stuck in their bores. Not sure if that means anything...
anyway, I'm gonna order the bearings, as we ll as rings now.
Any recommendations here? Funny, the options seem cheaper on Summit than RockAuto.
