Distributor was inserted one tooth out of time to compensate. New bolt hole drilled to secure the distributor...

I think the guy that rebuilt that engine must have made his way up to Hickory, NC at some point. LOL!

I got out my dial gauge and checked the protrusion of the #1 piston. Slight difference from the front to the back. The front of the piston measures a protrusion of 0.4064 while the rear of the piston protrudes 0.4572. That's a difference of 0.0508 from the front to the back. A bend is a bend I guess. The cross hatching still looks good in the cylinder bore though. I will look again when I have better lighting.

I know I'm just discussing this with myself here but I wasn't measuring correctly. There is a 0.406 mm difference from the front of the #1 piston at TDC and the rear of the #1 piston at TDC. For the standard guys out there, that's 0.016. I'm pretty sure that it's bent.

I'll be getting that 3.0 block I've been looking at. I'm wishing now that I had kept that "91 350SDL I bought for $500. It had a factory replacement engine in it and had less than 125k on it. UGH!

Paid $200 for this to use in the'93 SD. The engine leveler was actually knocking on the intake so it makes the engine sound a bit more noisy.
