It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. (My '74 has been in mothballs for many years, waiting for my retirement).
I was at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago where I purchased a '73 2.0 motor that was mounted on an engine stand. It looks to be a rebuild project. The heads look newly reworked. No rockers, tubes, or pushrods have been installed. (These parts were also included (new) along with most all required tin, fan, shroud and fuel injection.) #GA008920 The reason for this post: The oil galley plugs appear to have been soldered over then coated with JB weld. I've chipped the JB weld off some of them, only to be surprised by the solder. Has anyone seen this done? Any ideas on how to proceed? FYI - I pulled a head to determine bore & stroke. It appears to be stock. Heads have been gone through and look like they were done well (just from visual inspection) They have new valves, springs, & guides and were bead blasted. thanks Attached thumbnail(s) |

I couldn't wait for winter to tear into this thing. From my limited knowledge I didn't see anything on the inside as weird as the oil galley plug issue. The cam looks new. It has the following markings: CWC, C2, H6, 01, D2, EP93. Can anyone identify this cam from these marks?
All the pistons have been ran before but look to have a new, very slight relief cut into them. (higher lift cam than stock?) I didn't pull the rods off yet. They look to be somewhat polished, maybe balanced? From these pics does anyone see anything that stands-out, good or bad? thanks Attached thumbnail(s) |
