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...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
