1940 120 cam gear and crank gear removal

Posted by GuyDeGennaro On 2019/12/27 12:13:40

I have a 120 which the head has been off for about 8 years, the reason it was taken apart was that the valves would go up and not come down. I have the engine out of the car, finally got the pistons out,by the way there is no ridge in the cylinders. I only want to do this once, where do I go from here ? My thought is to have the crank turned, hone out the cylinders, if with in tolerance use standard rings and whatever the crank is cut use the correct bearings. Should I also get the deck machined and the head. Should the pistons and valves be replaced also? What about the cam bearings and valve guides? Should I also have the intake and exhaust manifolds and block resurfaced? The car was running about 8 years ago, an electric fuel pump was put on ,however I want to get the original pump rebuilt, any ideas on who can rebuilt that or is there a kit so I can do it myself? I know I will have more question along the way, any help would be greatly welcomed.
