I pulled the engine apart and discovered the # 2 rod bearing had been spun because the oil pump pickup had broken. Apearantly the previous owner bottomed out so bad that It broke the oil pump. I completely took it apart and got it to the machine shop. I had the head machined and a valve job done.
Through a friend of a friend I got the machine work on the block and crank done by Mike Benard who only does race car engines for a living.
Mike Bored it out .20 over and turned the crank. It looked Brand new when it was done.
I had to do some extensive searching for the auxillary shaft bearings because they are no longer available.
The machine shop pressed in the aux shaft bearings, freeze plugs and the galley plugs.
