318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

View attachment 1715474064 This is the lube I’m using. A little thicker than toothpaste. Anyhow, it’s all coming apart today.

I did notice something odd when I first tore apart the engine, some of the rods were stamped with numbers that didn’t match the cylinder they came out of. I kept them in order according to how they came out, not the numbers stamped. And not all of the rods are marked. I think someone had this engine apart and carelessly put it back together at one point.


I use Casite Motor Honey or STP oil treatment to lube when I assemble an engine...
