Found that it is necessary to replace valve stem seals.

WoW looks like disaster 

[Möykkä]

Though it's a little extra work, don't worry too much about the engine.

Take it apart and clean it some, you don't have to get the parts as clean as new.

Put it back together with new bearings, seals and gaskets.

When your car is ready for the road, just start beating the shit out of it as long as it lasts

Exactly, cast iron with rust looks much worse thant it actually is.

You gotta watch out possible pinhole corrosion spots on the cyl.wall after honing.

If water has been in a cyl. long enough ( read more than few days) it may cause pinhole, casting is porous and amazingly thin in some spots.

I've been ending up scrapping some 6.2 diesel blocks due leaking head gasket & water in cylinders , pinhole corrosion 

[Juhani LS1]

Yea, seen that in BBC and SBC MerCruiser engines

Yesterday, I disassembly engine to the end, in the end it was not so sad.

In addition to the water in the engine, oil level was missed several times, connecting rod bearings, and indigenous, were such bullies, as if the oil has been with the sand.

Crankshaft will sharpen the second repair (0.020),

The piston in an ideal condition, the motor after real rebuilding.

And if all goes well, I will pay only for rings, bearings and gasket, well, good point all of this is that it is more convenient to paint the engine ...

Finally warmed up and I still started on the construction site, today put shock absorbers on the stretcher.

All this certainly will not seem a very difficult task, but in my case, all compounded by a banal thing, namely, the lack of hardware.

Collected the head and down the motor.

With their heads out a little embarrassing, I put my head did not, because due to the fact that the engine was water, they began to look awful. Saddles rusty, intake, too, the plane ugly to look at, in addition to the general groove valves would also check on the plane. Was rescued by my friend Genadu. He put his head Edelbrock, and I gave her, with the same engine, ie exactly the same. But how then was it was not there. The head is still different, and the difference between them in the valve stem seals. I stand at the inlet to the usual caps, and umbrellas are in production (old design), and the pads were also included caps on the inlet and umbrellas on the issue, and the head which gave me a standing Genadu caps at the inlet and on the issue. And the same seat on the exhaust valves was pierced it was under the cap. In the end I had to buy a set of caps more ...

Well finally wait for the right intake and assembled engine remains the case for linkage, but I fear not the tripod stand and collapses))

Did not like the bolts ARP, they are short and some of them spoiled two threads in the heads, had to replace the usual.

Nice yellow engine

Looking good

I agree. The colour and the look of engine match really well with your camaro.

When i read first messages of your project topic from last april and compare pictures from starting point to current condition...you have done great job in such a short time

Hard to believe its the same car.

In recent pictures it looks like you have 15 inch rim wheels. I guess there's aint much room between brake caliper and the wheel. ("brake porn" indeed)

When can we see some dyno results or 1/4 mile times?

I'm also curious to know how much there is american muscle cars in russian street view after all and what are the prices for good condition ones (let's says few example from the year 1965 to 2000 models)?

 

 

[SOD]

About price....

Good condition car - 30000$ and more...

Charger - 40000$ - 50000$

Camaro 2 gen - 40000$ - 50000$

Camaro 3 gen - 15000$ - up

So prise is like zigzag ))) Because we havent too much USA retro  cars.

There is no legal way to bring old retro car from the U.S. to Russia. To be precise, it can bring, but we can not get it through customs, and documents on the right of owning a car. And I can `t go on it on public roads. As a result, we collect old cars across Russia which were imported before 2000.

Keep up that good work! Amazing job you have done..

Damn, that sucks! Sounds like there is at least one country where things are even more difficult than Finland, so you guys in Finland have it easy. 

 

But as far as I have understood, there are still a lot of cars being exported from the US to Russia. Is it then easier to import newer cars?
