Had a pretty good couple of days in the shop. The 261 is ready to drop in, just finishing up on the generator R&R. A couple of pictures. Decided to do with some hardened exhaust seats because the exhaust valves were receded. New valves ,springs ,guides,seals too. Reground the cast cam at delta cams in Tacoma, they also resurfaced the solid lifters. Will run the bypass filter for awhile, this block is a 62 and never had its oil galley rod pushed in for a full pressure filter. Steve
