Replace bent rod and probably piston, hone cylinderenough to get scratch close to even while not going over .010,.015 over, use a set of service rings and put back together after making sure no nuts or loose valve seat, no faulty keepers on valves. Run it 100,000 miles. One or 2 cylinders different oversize not that uncommon on mid price or low buck rebuilds. Chicago area years back when working auto parts counter and Jeep dealer the quick commercial engines for cabs and delivery vehicles often got that kind of service/rebuild- unground slightly worn cranks got thicker bearings, ridge ream and lap with the oversize service rings on standard pistons, mix and match rods and pistons for balance, grind and lap valves and grind a bit of valve stem. Ford has crank bearing that are +002, through .005 thicker for crankbearing wear- couple of the local salvage tow trucks do the in chassis bearing replacements when oil pressure low and slight knock. Knurling pistons still done for slight piston slap when using service rings and stock piston to take up extra clearance on side. Won"t get more than 90 day warantee but but $300.00 to $600.0 is better than $1200.00 to $1800.00 crate rebuild and close to the $200.00 to $500.00 salvage engine cost. 2bolt with 8.2 to 1 compression dished pistons should last awhile if it doesn't have a Camaro cam in it. 225 degree or so was a mild stock cam used in some years- met EPA and had good torque at low end, was in some pickups and vans.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
