Did you mark all the caps so you can put them back in the same spot? Or maybe they were already marked?

Marked everything. Even bagged the bolts based on where they went.

That rear main bearing looks to have some sort of corrosion spot, but the crank looks fine. A polish might be enough.

I think the shadows are screwing the picture up. Not corrosion. A polish is my hope.

A crank polish, a ball hone, and some new rings and bearings and she might be good as new. Do you have a reputable shop near by to polish the and measure the crank?

There are 3 old school shops with new school machines. I was asking around when at the drag strip. Everyone has their favorite.

I’m not seeing anything in the engine that would scare me with what you took off so far. Clean and polish, dingle ball hone the bores and slap new rings and bearings in it.

Every person I know that has used Lifelock has had a problem. I personally do not trust Lifelock. I sure hope Lifelock does right be your kids Wade.
Also everyone I know that uses the bank account ATM card in a gas pumps has had issues. I do have an ATM card. I never use in gas pump or hand to a waiter at restaurant. Up until I retired I used cash at the pumps, and restaurants. Still try to use cash at restaurants, esp tipping. Use a CC with % back on gas purchases since moving 30+ gal at a time with today's prices is a lot of cash.

I don't trust them either

Crank main journals. No wear showing. The brown being seen is from me slather oil back on so it dose not corrode.

Mains should be Mains-2.7488"-2.7495"

Clean and smack new bearings on i say and run it ...... but what do i know

 

[ktmoutfront]

I will run some emery cloth around all,of the journals and see what they look like. I am thinking it should be an easy rebuild when I get to that point.

Emery cloth on the piston boogers to ? I have a nice SBC short block balanced flat tops, bent a push rod and exhaust valve kissed the piston, has a small gouge. Was wondering if smoothing it and running it would be ok.

You mean the piston?
Pretty sure you're fine

 

[ktmoutfront]

I will just clean up the piston with a fine file and some super fine sand paper.

Seen plenty of diesels with pistons that were beat to shit by some injector tip or other piece of debris and running just fine. as long as it didn't smash the edge into the cyl wall.

It is crazy that it shows up in the picture like that. I had to get a magnifying glass to see it. Emery paper made it go away. It was from the micrometer.

There might be a 454 back in this soon.

Can I just giggle and roll my eyes?

 

[ktmoutfront]

I can't make up my mind. When something just shows up for cheap, it changes things.

So this is the motor I’m picking a cam for now?

 

[ktmoutfront]

All of them.

We need to chat, I don’t understand cams much and it upsets me.
