Re: Pulled the #2 main bearing
Actually, I get these towels at the flea market from .50 to 1.00 each
depending on who I'm dealing with at the time.

Re: Pulled the #2 main bearing
Check the outer surface of a rod bearing for some stamped information. If
you find a "1980" you know that you're looking at the factory original
bearings.

In a nutshell, it entails a whole lot of work that goes much easier with
the engine on a stand.
Basically this is the point where you decide if it's worth the time and effort
to rebuild or are you better off getting a rebuilt or crate motor.
