I tore one of my extra buick engines down today, And I found its been recently rebuilt with clevite parts. Im couldnt fidn any numbers on the pistons or rings, to show if they were bored or not, but im taking everything into school with me tommorrow, and cleaning it all up. Its going to need the new rocker arms, timing chian set, and an oil pan. When I pulled the timing cover off, I found that 15 teeth on the cam sproket were broken off, and the chian was really lose. Which is probably why the engine wouldnt run. The oil pickup screen had absolutely nuthing in it, which shows its probably hasnt been long scince the clevite parts were installed. The cam and crank both appear to be in exec. shape also, and there is no ridge in the cylinder walls either.

Took the engine to be degreased at Zanesville Bearing.. which cost $83... They will also be installing new cam bearings, the cost fo that is labor plus cam bearing price, but sicne I got the bearigns from them, i get a 20% labor discount
