Well Bolters I’ve finally gotten our 235 engine totally disassembled, now down to the more dirty work of cleaning the detail parts (see attachment) and taking it Lassiter to the machine shop here in College Station and praying that it will not be toooo expensive (wishful thinking.)
The head, valves, inspiring, push rods, tappets, may need replacing.
Pushrods definitely. Initially my gut feeling is that the Camshaft will have to be replaced too. The cylinder bores look like honing would take care of inner walls hashing. Initially the pistons look reusable (wrist pins slide and no radial play), the piston rings not broken but will be replaced. Piston rods look ok. Crankshaft needs resurfacing. All piston rod, camshaft, and crankshaft bearing to be replaced. All block freeze plugs to be replaced.
My only question herein is: look at picture where I point to the crankshaft support bearing, is that the correct configuration for the bearing in at that crankshaft support?
