so it begins........

Definitely looks like it's time for some new bearings in the bottom end. Hard to say about the cam bearings, we can only see the first one.

You might be money ahead if you bought a $60 digital camera. Everyone would be able to see and advise you on the different problems with a much higher confidence.

Check out this link for some examples. I've spent thousands of dollars at Newegg and never a problem yet.

Indycars

sure knows how to take EXCELLENT detailed photos, I wish I had 20% of his skill with a camera, in fact if you don,t mind Indycars, could you post some tips and tricks about proper use of crammers and minimal equipment, to use and how to upload photos as I'm sure it would be a huge help to all of us that are almost clueless with a camera, I know I rely on my sons a great deal for this so its not something everyone can do easily
 
I like the way you float out a nice compliment, and then ask for a favor. I would have to be pretty mean to say no. I will see what I can do and post in a few days to a separate thread.

Now I wonder, how can take a picture of a camera with a camera, using just one camera ? :cool:
 
LARGE MIRROR :mrgreen:, but youll need SEVERAL TO GET THE SIDE AND BACK CAMERA PROFILE :lol:

the copper showing and the micro scratches usually indicate EITHER a rather rough crank journal finish or debris in the oil or BOTH

wear on only one side tends to indicate a bent crank or warped block main saddle alignment

I'll drop the crank of and see what they say hope its not bent..... these turbo cranks are hard to come by.
 
Machine shop figures that the exsessive wear from the cam button on the timing cover caused alot of my problems. I could have stacked a couple of dimes in the recess that was worn in the cover.

I await the results of the run out and magneflux testing.

Sounds like a polish is going to be enough, mains will end up 10 over rods 30 over.
Last go around for this crank... might have to invest in that stroked rotating assembly!!

My wish list!

Like I said wish list........ I don't have the budget for this at the moment. I'm hoping to freshen this motor and get a couple of years out of it and start collecting pieces for a killer motor got a line on a standard bore block.
 
which ever route you take please take and post lots of CLEAR detailed pictures during the process, and post part numbers, suppliers, costs and any other info, so guys with similar projects will have a reference.
you might be amazed at how often little bits of info you might not think were important, turn out to be exactly what some other guy needs to know
