[QUOTE="macawman, post: 450333, member: 23375"] I've pulled the head, Pappy, and I'm not really seeing anything one would expect to see in a motor this old. There were no apparent problems with the head gasket. There was no measurable warpage in the head and the head was magnifluxed for cracks. There is the usual ring of carbon around the top of each cylinder above TDC, and a accumulation on the pistons tops. Visible portions of the cylinders have some glazing but no signs of scoring or other physical damage. My concern about the needle bearings is having them go everywhere if they are not caged when I pull the rod end caps off. [/QUOTE]
