Well I have the engine back from my rebuilder. All went smooth. New Hastings rings (2 per groove, three grooves). Piston needs minor machining for new rings. We were able to use original valves and piston. In fact the only new items were rings and gaskets.
And here is a video “tour”.
All going smooth. A lot to do to swap engines. More work and updates to follow.
