Well at least the springs weren't heavily compressed for 38 years. Thanks Mike! PS the double roller set is on the shelf. And I will gladly offer many of the "take-off" parts to anyone here for reasonable prices + shipping. 7604910-IMG_2523.JPG (126 downloads) Last edited by waguy; 02/27/13 12:14 AM.

Document those internal inspection marks for the resto crowd! I agree, but keep in mind that due to it being a late 70's engine MOST of those details will likely vary from earlier vintage small blocks. *Dibs on all of the small throw away masking parts and plugs!
