I completely tore the engine apart and whatever machine services that were needed, including turning of the crank and resizing of the rods was done at a machine shop. I got it all home, assembled it with all new bearings and at that time found out (via plastigage) that the reciprocating assembly had very little clearance. I warned my dad about it, but since the assembly turned over he said to not worry about it. (He was probably just too tight to do anything about it) We started it up and the oil gauge pegged.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
