1967 Dodge Dart 270
Started the disassembly of the engine today. Glad I pulled it. #7 intake push rod is bent. The lifter and rocker are free so I am thinking it is the valve that is stuck. Also took a good look at the cylinder walls. #4 has a vertical scratch in it. :mad: I was hoping to get by with a hone and not have to bore it out. Cam is shot. Looks like the dog got a hold of it. I am not sure if the discoloration is normal for an 54 year old cam/lifter set. Going to pick up a puller for the harmonic balancer tomorrow after work and try to get the lower portion apart and get a look at the bearings and journals.
