Don't get it right, just get it running. 85 318 roller
Sent the block to get tanked, cam bearings installed and had them hone the cylinders for new cast rings.
I went ahead got new bearings and rings since they were very reasonably priced.
Just finished putting a coat of Rustoleum oil based gloss black on the block. Just had it laying around. Brushed it on. Going to put the freeze plugs in next.
I'm going to polish the crank myself using a piece of shoe string and 1000 grit wet with wd40. (Thanks @318willrun for the YouTube video) then onto install and checking clearance.
Question on where to find th specs for the oil clearances and torque, since this is an 85 roller block. Are the specs the same for a regular LA?
Still have some pistons to clean, the chem dip is hardly touching the grim. I've had good luck with ZEP industrial purple. Not even sure where I got it. It was just laying on the corner of the shop.
