Now that I'm done with frame work and body prep for the winter, I'm starting to plan my engine rebuild for the winter / spring.
This 235 is has less than 400 original miles on it but had an oil pump failure. So it was taken apart by the original owner, never to be reassembled.
Having NEVER done this, have a ton of questions, but gonna start with the crank.
I cleaned up the parts where the bearings ride.

What I did notice was there pistons 3 & 4 ride, they're not shiny at all... and might be the reason why it needs to be machined right there...

Also - what would one expect to have to pay to get this specific job done?
