Hello Forum
I have an 1973 850 (basket case) Engine disassembled;
Cases have been split and parts cleaned with solvent. Engine had been torn down before. Visually, everything looks good;
bore, cam & lifters, bearings, cases, crank , case threads, etc. Pistons = +0.040" . Cylinder head exhaust threads destroyed (out for repair)
So where to go from here? What will I regret not doing at this point? What not to use or do?
For instance, is there a particular main bearing set to install, crank case ventilation mod, oil sump mod, should I or shouldn't I use stainless cylinder bolt hardware,
preferred gasket set and sealant (I hates leakers)
I know there is a link here regarding my inquiry, but I can't find it. Thanks all
