Well the 261 I picked up on the cheap needs EVERYTHING... drat!
So I'm looking for advice on parts. Specifically Piston and rings sets. Bore is currently for .040 pistons and is .05 over in one or two cylinders. So I guess I'll need +.060 Pistons for the rebuild.
The crank is scored enough that I can feel the marks with my fingernail. It could polish out but I doubt it.
I think I will send the cam off to Delta to be reground as it is worn pretty well.
I need some suggestions for Pistons, bearings (cam, main and rod) and a machine shop in the SF Bay area that knows their stuff.
I thought I had a guy but he messed up his back and after 3 weeks I had to show up there to find out.
I need the head gone through as well, Valves hardened seats etc.
Thanks!
Jeremy
