Took the head off the other day. Gasket was blown between # 2 and 3. # 3 had near a quarter inch of deposits caked all around the valves, # 2 almost as bad. Having the head cleaned, checked and probably valves redone. All were set real far into the seat; machinist told me they shouldnt be in that far. I have not checked the bearings yet. Sleeves look good as far as I can tell, no scoring, bit of a lip at top of ring travel. #3 piston is pitted where it was hitting the aforementioned deposits, I am assuming. Just around the edge, ring area seems ok. I figure I might as well ring the thing while im there. Any thing else I need to check while im in this block? I looked from the underside, and didnt notice anything busted up around the sleeves, no shavings in the pan. Oh yes, another question. I want to check the bearing clearances, but i noticed the nuts to the rear main bearing (closest to the tran) are partially up in behind part of the block. It looks like this part is an insert of sorts, but cannot seem to find out how to remove it. Also, what is a good solvent to clean the top of this block with before i put new gasket on...gasoline?
Long message, I know, just wanted to update, and get more things to check while im here. Appreciate all the pointers and suggestions as to what to check, etc. thanx

The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
