Well after researching some stuff on my 283, I wasn't gonna have the CR that I want
So I dug out a old engine that I got from GringoLoco last year (sposed to be a good engine, maybe needed to be rebuilt) & I pulled the heads off to see what kind of shape it was in

Low compression POS pistons

So I decided that I would pull the pan & check out the crank

Come to find out, its a 4-bolt main

So its a good block to rebuild & start fresh with one of these days

The engine I got from Gringo had a bad timing chain too

So I got the caps off everything on the crank & it looked good, so I decided to put it in the engine that came out of my 84 I used to have
The 84's engine had an ate up the crank

Dont use too much silicone kids

But the 84's engine had good pistons & you can still see the hone marks

The Cylinders atleast need to be honed, there is some pretty good wear from the pistons. What's that "dent" in the right cylinder at about 7 o'clock on the first ring?
