Pieces of steel in cylinder??

I'll pull the plugs in a few days, will post up some pics when I do. The guy at the machine shop pulled the cam and said the bearings were bad, I haven't seem them yet. I did ask him to save them for me though.



This car will just be a grocery getter, with a little added horsepower. It'll never see a track, just a cruiser with some pick up and go. The engine?? Well, I'd just like to see it back running, BUT I did pick up a 5.9 360 Magnum to rebuild, slowly. I know many here will disagree and say I shouldn't even bother with the 318, but damn I sure do want to just get the Scamp back on the road.


You may want to look into the Mancini Racing engine rebuild kits... They are a good deal and I would recommend using the "C" kit:



Sealed Power kit:

C-KIT Includes:

-Sealed Power Rod bearings

-Sealed Power Main bearings

-Sealed Power Cam Bearings

-Freeze Plugs

-Melling Oil Pump

-Felpro Gasket Set

-Sealed Power Rings (Moly)

-Sterling Pistons (Cast)

Sealed Power Piston Rebuild Kit - "C"



CLevite kit:

C-KIT Includes:

-Clevite Rod bearings

-Clevite Main bearings

-Clevite Cam Bearings

-Freeze Plugs

-Melling Oil Pump

-Felpro Gasket Set

-Sealed Power Rings (Moly)

-Sterling Pistons (Cast)

Clevite 77 Engine Kit - "C"


However, some of the pistons that come with the kits are low compression, but if you want higher compression pistons, call them and they can substitute them for the difference in cost...
