Yes, I have torn it down completely. I have changed the cam bearings and de-glazed the cylinders. there approximately .001 taper. I will reuse the old pistons and rings. I measured the crankshaft and found that the rods and mains were only between .001 and .0015 clearance. I'll also reuse the crank and bearings. I have rebuilt the fuel pump and have a kit to do the carburetor. Everything gets cleaned repainted or replaced.
