...I found those pictures interesting because up until that point I had never actually seen how bad some parts are that people are actually considering reusing. It's as though some people have never heard of cylinder reboring, crankshaft regrinding and cylinder head reconditioning...
Since you like pics, here are a few more! I will continue to post pictures as the engine progresses, since there seems to be some interest.
You must realize that I am planning to haul dirt, drywall, and whatnot. I'm not planning to drive in a parade. If the engine runs acceptably as-is, to me it seems crazy to have it rebuilt. Of course I have no idea how it runs because it was seized when I bought it.
The assembly process so far has been thoroughly enjoyable. This is way more fun than dis-assembly and cleaning. My day is spent looking forward to spending time with the engine, and I find it interesting to see and understand how the engine works.
