I’ve got my 1979 2F completely torn down (minus the timing plate) and looking for the collective wisdom of Mud to help me determine what I ought to be replacing and what is cleanable/fixable. Really everything from the block to pistons and rods, lifters, gears, crank and cam, etc. etc. I’m an absolute beginner with engine work, but since I’ve got it completely apart I figure the ONLY thing to do is invest the time and money in replacing everything I can that makes sense to replace.
Here are the pistons and rods. I have domed pistons, which I gather will require some investment to procure oversized if I require cylinder boring. Which leads me to…..
The cylinders are all varying degrees of this condition. Some seem better, but this is the worst. Any chance this can be honed, or am I looking at having to get them bored? Below you can see where I’ve wiped away some of the “crust”. Seems to come off easily?
Thanks for the help. Ive owned these 40’s for 5 years now and only recently have been able to start tearing into them. I’ve learned so much from the forum and I’m Looking forward to hearing what you all think.
