Just bought a 68 340X motor and started to tear it down. Was told motor sat for 20+years?? just getting into bottom end.
My Question
How do I ID the present camshaft while its still in the block?
I will put dial indicator on lifter to measure lift but how about duration & centerline??
Should I install a degree wheel and check it that way?
What about the crank & rod bearings (no oil in there)
Motor spins ok but was not sealed > its dirty (stored poorly)
with carbon in cylinders but no sludge
I dont want to damage crank
thanks
tom
