Re: TYPE IV Engine Rebuild

The heads overall look okay, but they are definitely in for a valve job before being reassembled. I guess I already knew the "right" answer to the main bearings question. Thanks for reaffirming my thoughts.

Bruce - I didn't get on the site yesterday. Thanks for the offer to help - I need to get an engine stand before I try this again, though.

Bill - Thanks for the advice. I will count the connections I've found before continuing.
