Well, finally we feel like we've made some progress. Last weekend we finally started putting things back together instead of pulling things apart. For the past few weeks we have spent a fair bit of time cleaning engine parts in preparation for the rebuild. Finally, we get to start bolting it back together. Here are a few pics.
Dad spent many hours cleaning up these valves, valve guides and springs
It's been nearly a year since we stripped the heads, so some referral to the manual was required.
Thankfully, the 350 Chev is a very simple engine. Once Tim figured out how to install the first valve, the rest were knocked over in no time.
Crank and block have been cleaned (again) and crank has been installed.
So far, so good. This weekend we'll be installing the pistons, cam and heads. Fun times. It's nice to be making progress
