Well it's been in the works for a looooong time, and still is. Figured I would start a build thread so I could get a little motivation and criticism (good and bad).
Sooo, here's where I'm at...
I'll start with the rebuild of the 2F. Engine was in great shape. No wear in the cylinders and everything was nice and clean upon tear down. Took the rods, crank, and flywheel to the machine shop and had everything balanced. Gave the cylinders a nice hone, replaced cam bearings, sent the cam and lifters to Delta Camshaft for a grind. Buttoned everything back up with Toyota and Fel-Pro gaskets...
Here you can see the machining on the caps.
Removed the Welch plugs from the oil galley. Drilled tapped and replaced with larger pipe plugs. Welch plugs were in good shape upon removal, but are prone to failure. Figured I would fix that since I was already there.
