Got my engine down to longblock status & got a bit of a surprize

Cleaning is better than having to buy new. You now have more of your budget for upgrades.

Ed, wanna play with the bore gauge??? I will ship it for free. ( I owe you for the favour you did me) Buy me a beer at Rennsport and call it even!

I would love to talk options with you if you go further down the upgrade path....

From the pic the cylinder looks salvageable (assuming measurements are good). You look nice and organized which will pay off come reassembly time!!

Cheers

Thanks Jeff, I could use the bore gauge so I can get a feel for what I have going, I should've taken you up on that earlier. I got the cam tool and Z block yesterday, thanks!

I try and keep it all orderly. I've used a bunch of plastic bags seperating parts, and probably will start doing some cleaning before I split the case. I may even get my sheetmetal and valve covers off to the powdercoaters to keep them from being underfoot, and get some tangible progress.
