I took my bad block apart a little further tonight and noticed a couple of things. First I noticed that I have inserts between my block/caps and my crank. The crank looks fine but the inserts(barings?) are grooved. Is this how blocks come stock or has this one been gone through before?
Would it be possible to just replace these barings and rebuild the motor? The crank still spins, but the oil pump is siezed and there is visual damage to the middle baring of the balance shaft. I will pull the front plate off tommorow and see if the oil pump spins free of the balance shaft.
I pulled one of the caps off the rod and it is the same as the crank. Could I just get new barings for that as well? From the piston I pulled the walls still have a visual cross hatch on them.
I guess my question is can I just replace the inserts and remove the balance shafts and save this block? I would get all of the basic freshening done as well to the block as well.
I mean theres a sale on internals and I need a winter project, would this be worth pursuing?
