New mechanic.
Wow.

Witnessed disassembly of the engine yesterday.

- Tons of metal in the oil and sticking to various parts
- Oil was metallic silver in color... like some kind of paint or dark mercury.
- Rod bearings trashed (through the 1st layer, through the copper)
- Main bearings trashed
- Cam bearings trashed
- Cam has some etching into it
- Rod has some etching into it
- Found a stamp that says "1978" - guessing it was rebuilt then? 33 years since a rebuild... but...why only 10 years after it was originally built? Sounds too soon.



















Can't figure out the exact cam specs:
