SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?

You guys are exaggerating...

As I mentioned..
It's a good running motor.
I tested compression with a cheapo. HF tool, and simply to confirm that I don't have a DEATH hole and I don't.
107-115 for a 74' oem engine is not bad.
Btw Battery was weak + a fairly frozen oem Ac compressor and all belts connected...
I easily add 10-15psi , when perfect testing.

And this is simply to cure with most likly new rings.
(Cast =30$ ; moly =42$)
a very easy and reasonable job .

it's a damn worn airpump ( as to expect being from 74' )and it needs upgraded sealing for better compression#
No, we're not. You asked for advice. We're giving it.
