The engine

I tore down the engine because it was not running right ,no power and I had an air intake leak in the old webber carbs. I have a fresh set that i plan to use. This engine has been redine once a long time ago. So here is what i found

 this is what it looked like when i got it it wasnt running

Over the years we did put it together and as you saw in the earlier videos i did get it to run, but never well

When i pulled the valve cover the cam shaft was pitted. The clearances where all over the place and the timing marks where off also.

The lower section revieled some cooling leakage over the years, but the head gasket was not blown and the cylenders held fuel when i poured some in. This is a good sign that the rings are still tight and I may not have to do the lower end completely I did blow the rear seal out so it has to come out anyway.

As you can see the water jackets where all swollen and in one case partially blocking the cooling chamber

The old webbers were not on the engine very tight . I think that air was leaking past them and causing the realy craizy uncontrollable engine running no matter what i did. All the seals where dried out on them but the throttle body valves still worked  well. They will be overhauled and then IL decide what to do with them.
