and there is a 0.015 ridge on the center of the crankm the cam is pancaked, two main bearings and all the rod bearings are toast, some of the cam bearings are scuffed, the front cover is toast with a half an inch of metal missing from the fuel pump eccentric rubbing on it. the timing chain had so much play in it that it would have been impossiable to get an accurate engine timing...........the block looks ok but i wont know for sure until i hot tank and sonic check/magna flux it. luckily enough i came up with a partially built 289 and a gasket set.
On a lighter knote Vocation Rehab authorized the purchase of a set of micrometers and a good torque wrench in addition to any parts I require to finish the engine im working on, although i think they would throw a fit if i tried to convince them i needed a 331 stroker kit. mostly it will be belts, hoses and maybe (If they'll let me) the right springs for my cam.
