Disassembly of the engine has begun and it looks really clean inside. Hopefully, my friend Mike will chime in and tell me what he thinks at some point.
Everything looks great, just really dirty with dried-out seals.
With some luck, all this needs is honing, bearings, freeze plugs and rings to put it back together.
The Schneider racing cam will have to come out as well, of course. This aggressive cam does not allow this engine to make enough vacuum to operate the headlights etc. and will not be very friendly for the sort of life this car will lead, so a stock cam will go in.
The steering column was painted black today as well. Once these parts cure and all the other parts are collected, this will be assembled and set aside.
Rusty from not painting in a while, the main housing ended up with a couple of runs which was disappointing, but they are oriented where they will not be visible once this is installed in the car.
