As some of you know last year I spun a bearing on my return from Encounter in
Carlyle Pa. in #923
I am finally over the anger of my stupidity, long story, and with the help on
my son in law, Mike, pulled the engine a week ago.
Here's what we have. The engine was .030 over already. The crank will need
to be ground as the #2 rod bearing is now part of the crank journal. The #8
lobe on the cam is shot.
My options: The machine shop suggests going .060 over. If I do this I was
going to use DW pistons. or.... I can get a set of NOS standard pistons and
sleeve to that size or... Can I sleeve to .030 and reuse my old pistons? I
don't mind keeping the car low/90hp. I enjoy the driving difference between
it and the 100M.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find a new stock grind cam. Everyone seems to
offer only a performance version. This to some degree negates my desire to
keep the car "stock".
Any thoughts and observations from the groups intelligence are appreciated.
