Disassembly of a 69 Z/28 DZ Three Oh Blew Engine

[SuperNovaSS]

Well, there is damage to the bottom of the cylinders but nothing I see in the ring areas:






Oh wait, is that a........ damn it:




And another in the next cylinder:



It may still be repairable with 2 sleeves. It will have to go to the machine shop to be cleaned and checked for other unseen cracks.


Lets get that cam out:




It looks like the last time the engine was messed with was the early 90's bases on the cam sprocket:



Alright, we got the cam out!





OK, we did it! No exactly what we were hoping for but that's the way the cards fall. If you guys are interested in the outcome, I will let you know when I hear from the machine shop.


Thanks for looking,

Jason
