Amazing stuff wish i could witness the repair. Please share if you have any videos or repair threadIt is a engine I might be repairing. I need to tear down the bottom end and see what the crank looks like. I knew it had been sitting but I was not aware of the moisture or I probable would have passed. Everything is fixable so far.
Won't the cams be pitted?Starting cleaning up the block vinegar works wonders on rust 24hr soak and shop vac out. Then a light scotch bright scrub with diesel should do the trick. Starting cleaning cams with a brass brush and diesel followed by a scotch bright polish. Should take 2/3 hours to clean these up but new cams are pricey!!

To be determined! I have about 1/2 of the intake cam lobs cleaned up and they don’t have any pitting. But yes this is my biggest concern. IllWon't the cams be pitted?
But the pits will hold more oil and lubricate better!To be determined! I have about 1/2 of the intake cam lobs cleaned up and they don’t have any pitting. But yes this is my biggest concern. Ill
Post up pictures after possibly waisting a hour of my time.
Oh man, that's heartbreaking.Well I think this motor will go to the scrap yard and save the parts that are salvageable(not much). The pitting on the shims is pretty bad and the cam lobs could Be ground but then I need to size new shims. Not sure if it worth the money I’ll be into this to resell.

Yah good thing I got a 94 harness with the deal or I would be very sour.The cams are garbage, so is the head.
Sounds like a quality company everyone should throw their money at.Finally heard back from legendex
They said 409 stainless will eventually rust and they recommend repainting it every 7-8 years. They have no explanation why mine is rusting after 7-8 months. So I'll pull it. Strip it to bare metal, repaint it and reinstall it. They are offering no help. So while it's off I'll make sure to grind off the legendex logo. I'm not advertising for a company that brags about a warranty and then says sorry....
Man that sucks, they should swap it the very least and figure out what went wrong on their own time not yoursFinally heard back from legendex

Why not ceramic coat while it's off? Be done with the issue permanently.

My son is waiting for his 40 that's taking too long. Meantime, he drives one of the 80's.

I see I'm not the only one who fabled their own bike rack mount...
