<DIV>Asa Jay,</DIV>
<DIV>If you remember I pulled my Cleveland for a ring, hone and check.
Ended up w/ brgs, oil pump, cam, lifters, springs, flywheel resurface,
release brg (got it today, I think), plumbing and wiring. This was
started to be completed for the fun rally. I'm still polishing and
cleaning.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course, now I know everything is good - all clearences were
checked etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do it right or you could be sitting on the side of the road watching
the end of the event. (my opinion)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Obviously you need bearings and to spend some time checking
everything.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Work carefully.</DIV>

can just make out a little oil on the edge of the scraper. Now
what? I either don't use the MPG Windage tray, which I -really-
like. Or I need to hack off some of the scraper in the pan.
Decisions, decisions.<BR><BR>Of course, that's honestly the least of my
worries currently. After a $1,400 order to Summit racing today (for
other things, like a radiator), I'm out of budget for a couple of
months. Going this deep into the engine was -not- in the
plan.<BR><BR>However, kudos to Steven Donegan who pushed me into it,
otherwise I wouldn't have known about the bearings. The pistons look
fine, the cylinders look great (still have some crosshatch) and the rings
look good. I'll be doing parts cleaning for a while, taking the
heads into my favorite cylinder head shop and finding a place to clean the
block and polish the crank.<BR><BR><IMG alt=""
