the crank is finally out of the block. looks like new pistons and rings are in order. she was 'rode hard and put away wet'. a lot of cleaning and soaking for right now. i was able to loosen the nuts on the rod but the center bearing is locked. a good soaking will do the trick. couldn't convince the wife to let me use the roasting pan for soaking so i'm off the get a pan and a hone for the cyls. i hope the crank cleans up.
