There'll be nothing remotely bowtie/government motors on my Jeep! :flamemad: I'll raise a glass to Henry and his blue-oval... I wish I had thought of Deere green though!:cheers:

So - I guess the mods should rename this thread "Stroker Rebuild", since we are essentially top to bottom now...
I should have the crank, bearings and rods back from the machine shop mid-week, at less than $300 -WOOT! They are going to be able to save the crank, so if anyone is in need of a crank for a stroker, I now have a spare I'll sell ya (thanks Mason!)!
While waiting for parts, I figured I should check the wear on the cam, seeing as I have the whole beast disassembled anyways -- ask you shall receive -- the cam is pretty worn, over 0.3 out of spec on a couple of lobes, with flat spots you could actually feel on more than one. Thanks to FrankZ for the calipers and witty banter!
So - I have a Crower "Baja Beast" cam on the way -- .448 lift, 280 duration -- which will sit on top of some new Crower Cam Saver lifters. Re-assembly should start this week, with the goal of having a hoist party next weekend or the following to put the beast back in, so I can get it all broken in before the wheeling season begins in earnest, and before it tows the trailer to Moab in May.:clap:

:cue jeopardy music: STILL waiting on the machine shop - not happy. Cam is in, everything is prepped and ready for the crank... if I had it! BTW, anyone in the springs want to loan me a ring compressor for putting the pistons back in, assuming I ever get them back...? :shiver:

have a hot cup of BUENO!! Hopefully I'll have some parts tomorrow, if so, I'll figure out when I can swing by and borrow the compressor. I highly doubt I will be ready to hoist it in this weekend, but you never know...
