motors almost back together been taking some photos and will upload them to photo site and start my build thread soon. I had pitting under the fire ring under number 4 on the block side so they had to take .05 off the block. everything looked to be stock original. Standard bearings and rings went back in. Maybe it will be running in the next 2 weeks. :)
