I like the car wash idea after I get the boring done, but I was thinking about the deposits in the water jacket, maybe its no big deal, just looks like a little calcium type junk in there.
I am hoping someone that has taken out those ball bearings will fill me in. The book says they can be re used if there not buggered. This engine has no crank damage so thats good,... wont have to go through the re grinding and balance thing anyway. It was an automatic as there is a 12 and not a 10 in the eng # so I will have to find those little marks on crank and flywheel. I didn't look when I took them apart. The PO set it up for a manual. Yikes just thought about it now...

.unless he had it balanced the little marks wouldn't mean anything because the flywheel is from another engine.....comments appreciated
