I have an 18V engine that the PO tells me was rebuilt 20k ago. I drove the car
the engine came from for about a month.
The oil pressure is great. 70 lbs always, doesn't matter if it is hot, cold,
idleing or running loaded. I have the engine out now as I am going to be
installing it in my roadster.
I want to save myself some pain later by rebuilding anything that "ought" to be
done while it is out. I am going to be doing the seals along with a new AL
head. (The head was on my roadster for < 500 miles when the bottom end of my
18G went.)
I am thinking of installing a new mild road cam along with lifters, as well as
timing chain, gears, and tensioner.
I am going to check out the oil pump, though I don't expect anything there as
the pressure is good.
I have never inspected main bearings or cam bearings however. What should I
look for? What else should I be looking at while I have it out.
Thanks!
