Thanks, guys. This is all very helpful and I appreciate all the work with all the links. Im working on a 216 out of a 41. Ive been posting on and off for several months, but now I finally have the engine out and on the stand. It all started because it would not start due to low compression. It definately needed a valve job, but in looking at the rings I also noticed they had to much gap.
The reason Im thinking of taking out the crankshaft is to blow out the oil lines before putting it all together. Ill have to print out the links you gave me. I have a shop manual, but it doesnt seem to give me much. These will be good resources.
Thanks again,
Judson
