I'm sending the jug out to a local machine shop and am going to order a new piston and ring set along with a wrist pin. I think I can clean up the head and install a new cam. It's my winter project and so far I'm having fun with it.

Hey man when I pulled apart my motor not to long ago it looked pretty similar. The previous owner took care of it, changed the oil regularly. My c-clip holding the wrist pin achually popped out and it rode against the cylinder wall, wrist pin was stuck.. Yes, had to beat it out with a hammer to release from connecting arm, and my cam journals were all kinds of messed up. Rocker arms and cams were far gone and this is all after 14000 miles. My suggestion to you is to check out your oil pump because the damage that was done looks like oil depravation.

The bottom end looks real good. No metal debris at all. I have looked for used motors and all of them I find are in the area of $700 or more, and let's face it you have to wonder whats wrong with them? Fix what I have seems to be the best solution at this point. It ran when I got it and it appears to be in good shape on the bottom end. The oil pump is a great question. I wonder what kind of shape it's in also. I just ordered a shop manuel for it and was wondering on how to check it. Any information on that would be great. Wink

Re: Head Work Reply #25 - 01/10/13 at 05:23:06 The only way I can even imagine to actually check the oil pump would be to get the side dammed off so it will hold oil with the clutch cover off & spin the poo outta the pump gear.

I kinda' enjoy having to wiggle the steering wheel on my 1986 C20 Chevy to get it to crank. I don't mind the coat hanger signal light splints secured with electrical tape on my Savage. I don't mind that my tachometer on my Mazda pickup has to be bumped to work, but man, with no real journal inserts and depending on the cam fitting more or less perfectly, plus the piston, I would call it toast, also. And I wouldn't put it back without a look in the bottom end. My opinion. I'm not rich. Can't afford a chance like that.
