The cylinder walls don't seem too bad and that they can be cleaned up with a ball hone
Yes, hone the cylinders replace the pistons bearings and rings and probably crank and cam. Although I might end up using the cam from the F motor, and the cam only because there is pitting on #1 exhaust lobeBased on the damage you've found, is the tentative plan rebuilding the current 2F?
I read this one way, then realized you meant something different…I am excited tomorrow to take my head into work and put it through the parts washer for a while
I have a new crank coming. I am going to take the new crank, pistons, block and head to get a machine shop verdict. To me I think the cylinders need to be honed the pistons aren't deeply scored, all new bearings and probably rings tooOof.
So what’s your plan for the next step?
Best of luck to you sir.I have a new crank coming. I am going to take the new crank, pistons, block and head to get a machine shop verdict. To me I think the cylinders need to be honed the pistons aren't deeply scored, all new bearings and probably rings too
Number 5 got really hot and started to "blue" I also thought that it would cost st too much to get it properly machined and balanced. I don't know the exact dollar number but I am anticipating it being close to $1,000 and I was able to find a new crank on eBay for $165Question of ignorance or you said it and can’t remember Jack- why not have the machine shop clean up old crank?
