Damaged bearings

Amazingly the crank was fine, look at the bearing!!!!!

New piston installed, the old one had some damage on it. Something bad happened in this engine

Head all cleaned up

Removing the keepers and retainers, I use a socket and smack it with a dead blow hammer. 

Look at these exhaust valves, nastyness!

After a good cleaning on the wire wheel

These are the valve guide seals, most of them fell apart like this when removed. another reason for burnign oil and smoking

Intake valve, look at the awesomeness collected on there, think flow imporved after a good cleaning?

These are the marks on the crank to identify what main bearing to install

This is the new oil pump gasket

Oil pump installed

#1 oil pan after a good sand blasing

These numbers on the bottom of the block also identify what piston to install
