The engine was running when I got the car. Completely disassembled (except the head). Machinist said cylinders still had factory cross-hatching, and head looked recently rebuilt. Rebuilt engine with new bearings, rings, seal, gaskets, hoses, timing chain kit, ss bolts. I have no other info on the car or the engine.
I'm waffling on new cam or have the machinist helicoil. He's got almost 50 years experience and thinks it will be just fine... New cam means new lifters and springs as well to do it right...
Thanks for your thoughts and the information!
