Well the Crank Cam and block is coverd in rust, no major damage from what I can tell. I can hone out the Block and the head is good.
Can these parts be used as is after wiping them down with an oily rag? What is a good way to clean the Crank and Cam? They have been already machined. I did not want to use emery cloth or sandpaper. What should I look for in damage to the crank and cam?
Know where I can get engine rebuild manuel on a 1960 - 70 6 cylinder engine?
Thanks for the Info?

It had fine surface rust but no pitting. I used a Scotchbrite pad & some diesel, worked fine, engine ran perectly. Brian | | |

Chevy Duty, All American Classics, LMC trucks, Jim Carter. All these guys should have them. Priceless info. Getting one and reading it should be the first thing you do. | | |
