So little update, the car is having a full rebuild with new crank due to the old one being welded to the forged rod While the engine is out and everything is away for refresh and rebuild im taking some time to clean it up a bit. Engine bay degreases I will be sanding the rust patches down and re spraying them areas, unfortunately the top slam panel was very poorly welded on at some point so its come off. polished up the rocker and oil catch can while waiting on wossner 74.5 piston rings I matched and balanced the pistons and con rods to within .5 of a gram, the new rod I bought was slightly heavier than the others so that again was weighed either end and balanced to suit some damage How she sits at the moment
