Here is a picture of the pet food that I recovered from the coolant passages in one of the heads, the other head appears to have some in it also. On second thought, should I rule out that this is some sort of coolant system sealing pellet product?
Also please see my oil pump. Would it be foolish to run this instead of an Olds pump? It looks like the top bearing surface has been bushed and there is a cotter pin retaining the relief passage plug. Would it wise to pull the cover & look around? Where this was sourced from is a mystery.
The main journals look great so far, turned 10 under with nice straight surfaces & chamfered passages. Clearance is right at .0015 :)
Progress.
