Today was a lot of work. I'm trying to get the block torn down to send to the machine shop and I'm just about there. I got the ridge reamer out and even though it was my first time using one, it worked mostly great. I did have to go back and ream one cylinder again because I could still feel a small ridge. When it came time to drop the pistons, they all came out without a hitch. I also plan to send the camshaft and lifters to a company out in Vancouver WA called Oregon Camshaft. Their turnaround time is 4 weeks.
Also, thank god I bought this impact driver screwdriver a long time ago. I probably never would have got the screws out of the camshaft thrust plate and the flat blade screws on the motor mount plate.
In case anyone is wondering, the caps and rods are stamped so that they go back in the same orientation.
