Thanks, Don. No worries. Its good to learn all I can as I go through this process.
Im kind of at a stand still right now because I want to clear out those oil lines before putting the pistons back in and putting the head back on, but I guess to do that properly I need to pull the crank.I was told that if I blow compressed air through the lines as it is now (with the crank in)all the gunk will accumulate at the crank.
Ive been looking on youtube at the video riding the film to try and better understand the 216 oil flow. But if I pull the crank, I think I should pull the engine and I do not have a hoist or stand yet. Ive been working from underneath the car up to this point, so Im at a crossroads. I could put it together and hope the oil lines are not clogged, or I could wait until I have a stand and hoist and pull the engine and crank. If I pull the crank I could also do the plastigauge measurements....
