Hi guys,
I've finally started dismantling the original engine from the car from the point of view of getting it in tip top condition before the 50th anniversary celebration of the v8 in August.
I'm concerned that there seems to be some rust in the bores.
Obviously I need to remove the sump and the crank/flywheel next...
Once i've dismantled is the next step to measure the bores to see if they're circular? Do i just try and get the rust off to start with or does that mean it does need boring out?
At the minimum we're doing the piston rings and cam. I'm guessing regrinding the crank is a no brainer to get good oil pressure...?
I'd like some help with general direction because I'm diving in having never done this before!
Thanks
Rich
