Alright... lets see. The engine was rebuilt about 10-12 years ago by a guy who used to race 122's and it sat in storage as a back up every since. I got it w/ half a gallon of water mixed w/ the oil (sat outside in a a rainstorm or something)so there was a bit of rust. The cam looked untouched as did the bearings... so perhaps 'refreshed' is more what I should say. I bought new lifters and rods from VPD, the rings were in fine shape... i honed the cylinders. Refreshed the oil pump... I had the head cleaned up all around. So new cam, new lifters and rods. Thats all thats really 'new'. Inside. I really don't know a ton about the engine. What else can I share?
