So I decided to start a new thread on this since my mission has changed. Got it most of the way broke down today. All thats left is to pull the crank and pistons. So far I only found 1 bad thing. The end of the crank has a key for the timing gear and it was in rough shape. Boogered the keyway up on the crank, but the gear is fine. I asked my buddy if he could just put the new key in and then fill the booger with weld, but he send thats prob not a good idea. Not sure what else I can really do with it though. Might be able to fill it and dremel it to clean it up. I can still see hone marks in the cylinders! I didn't check the specs, but the bores measured 85.85mm with my calipers and I know stock is ~86mm. Pretty amazing to see hone marks with 161000 miles. The head over the 3rd cylinder (which had 50psi) was a lot blacker than the other 3.
Feeling pretty good about my first engine teardown, over all. Still wanna know if anybody has used these http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...Xt+bore+gauge.TRS0&_nkw=t+bore+gauge&_sacat=0
