Well...since my cam bearings were cracked I will have to pull the motor. Since the motor will be out I wanted to freshen it up a little (according to the po it was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago). I will look into this as I tear apart the motor.
So for now, I was just planning on cleaning the motor installing new cam, main, and rod bearings. I will check clearances on all of the typical locations and inspect the cylinder walls for cross-hatch and ridge conditions. Also, a new timing chain, oil pump, oil pump shaft, ARP rod bolts, and windage tray will be installed.
Is there anything else I should consider for the bottom end without dumping a ton of money in it? It's a mild motor with a .480" lift cam 224 (0.050) duration, 9.5:1 compression, single plane, 625 Demon, 351W heads 1.9 and 1.6 (stage III ported), tri-y's, 2.25 exhaust.
