I was able to get the ring to spin freely today using some sand paper, a broken ring and pb blaster. Bottom end is finished next up is choosing the cam.

Anyone tried the sloppy mechanic stage 2 cam ???

Got all the rings gapped and pistons install and cleaned the cylinder heads next I'll be checking the valves/seats and replacing the valve seals until I decide which cam

Update: Bought a stock rated camshaft and got it installed. I reused the cam plate/gasket after cleaning it since gasket was in good shape and it's the recessed style.

I have a new timing chain and the way. But will still be using oem sprockets they seem to be in good condition.

I didn't label the valve lifters so I don't know which bores they went in. After examining the valve lifters I found 1 that is damaged where the roller is screwed.

I would replace the cam plate anyway as that gasket will not last as long as a new one at this point. And after all that work, it would be silly to not put new lifters in.

I went with Meiling 3srh60 timing chain to replace the old timing chain. Had a heck of a time getting it to line up but I finally got it. Is there a way to double check its timed correctly?

@lspann3525 That looks good to me, the teeth are large enough that if you did have it 1 tooth off it would not line up at all

Well after all the previous work I ran into a problem where the camshaft would not rotate after torquing the cam bolts. While trying to solve the issue I reinstalled the old retainer plate and that did not solve the issue. Leading to the replacement ebay camshaft being the issue. I placed the old cam and new cam nose to nose and there was a very tiny gap.
