Thought I should update this. Pulled the heads and found the cyl walls to be in great shape and still having cross hatching. The kid overheated it and blew a headgasket. So I cleaned up the block and put new head gaskets and intake gaskets on it. Stab'd in the dizzy and got everything plugged in. Im missing the maf but it could still start without it. So I gave it a shot. Was sputtering and just getting puffs of smoke and really no consistent fire. Played with the dizzy and though I was 180 off. Pulled it and re tried, it was worse. So I pulled it again and dropped it in to where it was before. Cranked it over and now it started to catch. Turned the dizzy and it came to life and died. Turned the dizzy a little more and it roared to life this time!!! I quickly shut it down bc there is no wp or coolant in it. Im was very excited to say the least!! First time I dug that deep into a motor. I have to replace the front timing cover bc the guy before me broke off a timing cover bolt and I cant see it with the cover there. So Now I have to get a new cover and I heard the oil pan gasket is shot when you do this. Is that true?
