I took it apart because of low compression on two cylinders, checked wet and dry and it's mostly rings. Going to have the head redone and put in new pistons and sleeves, might as well check the other stuff while I'm at it. The block and head are going to be checked for cracks, flatness, etc and hot-tanked. I need a new camshaft and lifters because the old one is worn out of spec on all lobes. I was just experimenting with the crank to see if it needed to go to the machine shop. It probably does, but I was curious if new inserts would solve the clearance problem if the thing was round and not garfed up too much. The roundness will be checked with a micrometer. If round I have heard it could be simply polished if it was otherwise ok. I am checking the clearance of the bottom inserts with the engine upside down in an engine stand -- I suppose gravity affects that too?? -- lot easier than doing it laying on my back. The service manual shows the engine upside down. I also know that the new stuff needs to be plastigaged too, this is only an estimate.
