well ok i put the cams back in and put the timing components back in and i turned it over and she will spin over and over now. i have the front cover off and it making a little chatering noise but since everything is new i think it just sounds that way until i put that cover and components on. i think it should be alright. ill have to do a compression test check on it after i get it all done just to see about those rings. this motor has 177k miles on it and if i am going to have problems with it when im done im just going to have to get another motor. do any of you know where is agood place to get a crate motor or a good place to get low milage motors?

 

ok guys scrap this whole thing. i put it back together and turned it over and i must have bent a valve or two and i broke the rollers under the cam and i et it hit the piston so im going to pull it out and throw a different motor in it. where is good place to get a new crate motor?
