Today we get the crankshaft and camshaft out of the block and do the last bits of disassembly on the engine. Even though we had to make a surprise trip to the store for extra bolts, we got everything done. We even got everything put into the parts washer so that they can be clean and look new!

However, we’re left with few questions. Can you answer any of these for us? We would appreciate your thoughts!

  • What is the best way to polish the journals on the crankshaft?
  • How should we take the cam bearings out?
  • Why were the lifters so hard to get out of the lifting bores?
  • And, do you love the burnt oil smell as much as I do?

Thanks for any insight into these answers, and thanks for following along on this journey!
