We rotated the engine. It rotates easily.
We also got the cylinder head off.
The engine looks pretty clean inside overall, just two areas of concern:
1) The lobes on the camshafts have some corrosion and pitting.
2) One of the cylinders has some light scoring. (Not visible, but will catch a fingernail.)
We're trying to determine what would be the cheapest course of action for each part.
For the camshafts, would it be cheapest to:
-Buy new?
-Buy used?
-Have them welded/reground?
The cylinders can be removed from the engine block. For the cylinders, would it be cheapest to:
-Buy new?
-Buy used?
-Have the existing ones machined?
