<p>Just the major interior surfaces of the block, not the oil galleries or
water</p>
<p>passages, nor the surfaces where the bearings sit, etc. As you note,</p>
<p>you don't want to block any oil or water passages, nor affect anything</p>
<p>that requires clearances. I hope that makes sense.</p>

<div>I would also add to paint the inside of the block with</div>
<div>Glyptal (now apparently an Eastwood product:</div>
<div>http://www.eastwood.com/glyptal-red-enamel-set.html).</div>
<div>This helps seal the block and gets the oil to drain</div>
<div>back to the sump a little more quickly.</div>

<div>Hello All,</div>
<div>I disassembled my TR4 race car engine this past week. Last time I rebuilt
it was 1987. Last time I raced it was 1988. Probably had five or six race
weekends on the engine but its been sitting for almost twenty years! It is
amazing everything looks very good. Rod and Main bearings show minimal ware and
the same with the pistons and liners. G3 cam and followers including head and
valves all look good. Cam bearings look questionable...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I plan on installing new cam bearings, Rods & Mains. Any suggestions
as to what brand and where to buy them?</div>
<div>I will deck the block. Any suggestions as to other machining I should do to
the block?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The crank looks fine but I haven't measured it yet. What clearances should
I run?</div>
<div>I do plan on balancing and polishing it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any input.</div>
