Got around to pulling the rods last week. The bearings looked really good so I'm not seeing much point in opening the case. Deglazed the cylinders in preparation for the "new" pistons. I received a set from my brother that we both know had less than 20k miles on them. He replaced because he went to JE pistons in his car... so win for me! I bought new rings and a ring squaring tool I checked ring gap today and all were within spec which would indicate no real issue with cylinder wear if I read Wayne's book correctly. I then put the new rings on the pistons and installed the pistons back into the cylinders.
I had four bent exhaust valves from the over rev. Craig said the intake valves should probably be replaced as well, but I don't recall exactly why, so I bought all new valves. I'm waiting on some moly coating and a sealant kit my brother is sending me. I'm going to moly coat the rod bearings before they go back in.
