I was thinking I'd just get this head cut and throw it back on the 1275 since I knew it ran when it was taken off the road BUT I decided since I'm going to reseal most of it anyways why not check a few things. The cam has several lobes that are worn pretty well and cyl 2 and 3 both have some odd pitting towards the top of the stroke. Cylinder 4 has some really weird scoring perhaps from a DIY hone job gone wrong. I'm sure it ran like crap with all these issues. I decided to call it a day as I do not have my large sockets here at home to pull the crank pulley bolt.

I pulled the axles and 3rd member from the rear axle housing but again did not have the large sockets here to pull the outer bearings so I'm calling it a day. I don't know of any other car you could put two drive axles, a differential and a cylinder head all together on one light duty cart!!
