all the main and rod bearing looked very good ! If I wasn't as anal as I am id just keep all the bearings (going with new main and rod bearings).
Water pump looks to be in working out but has a lot of rust build up so im going to replace it hate to start pushing all that rust around a good motor.
Timing chain was in excellent shape according to the gauge it only had 716 hours
Camshaft looked good as well very little wear on it as well.
The pistons them selves look great the skirts look almost brand new ! The only issue I see with this motor was that it sat so long that the rings just rusted to the cylinder walls.
Each Piston was a big issue to get out but with some WD40 got it done. The cylinder walls have no ridges at all besides just some carbon build up. And show no indication of rings hitting.
And shes tore down !
So for this motor the plan is to Vat the block hone the cylinders new rings for the pistons , new main and rod bearings all new gaskets a new water pump some new valves for the heads along with one new pushrod and lifter rebuild the carb and she should be good to go !
