Just the major interior surfaces of the block, not the oil galleries or wat=
er
passages, nor the surfaces where the bearings sit, etc.=C2=A0 As you note,
you don't want to block any oil or water passages, nor affect anything
that requires clearances.=C2=A0 I hope that makes sense.

I would also add to paint the inside of the block with
Glyptal (now apparently an Eastwood product:
http://www.eastwood.com/glyptal-red-enamel-set.html). 
This helps seal the block and gets the oil to drain
back to the sump a little more quickly.

Have the shop check the alignment of the mains and line hone if necessary. 
Machine the center main cap to install a reinforcing strap. 
Bottom tap all head stud holes. 
Remove and tap the front and rear main oil galley plugs for flush-fit 
NPT fittings. Have this done on the cylinder head cooling plug. 
Remove the crank scroll and install a rear main seal conversion. Do not 
use Indian Head Shellac on the felt seals. 
Grind unnecessary casting material from the inside and outside of the 
block, particularly in the cooling areas.=C2=A0
If needed, clean up the mating surfaces for the liner gaskets.=C2=A0

       Hello All,
I disassembled my TR4 race car engine this past week. Last time I 
rebuilt it was 1987. Last time I raced it was 1988. Probably had five 
or six race weekends=C2=A0on the engine but its been sitting for almost 
twenty years!=C2=A0It is amazing everything looks very good. Rod and Main 
bearings show minimal ware and the same with the pistons and liners. G3 
cam and followers including head and valves all look good. Cam bearings 
look questionable... 
=C2=A0
So I plan on installing new cam bearings, Rods & Mains. Any suggestions 
as to what brand and where to buy them?
I will deck the block. Any suggestions as to other machining I should 
do to the block?
=C2=A0
The crank looks fine but I haven't measured it yet. What clearances 
should I run?
I do plan on balancing and polishing it. 
=C2=A0
Thanks for any input.
