New spring tool worked like a charm except I bent 2 rocker bolts so I need to find new ones. I also got the crank bolt right off after yanking the fans and getting the impact on without a wobble joint.

Didn’t make much more progress other than cleaning up gasket surfaces and getting the timing set and oil pump on. I tried to remove and reuse the old valve seals but they were being stubborn so I just ordered new ones.

Are you using Vitron seals?

Been sick all week so I haven't made any progress but I did get my blackstone report from when I pulled the motor apart.

You don’t have Covid I hope?

Any ideas why the engine is wearing so much?
Ragged ole POS is the only thing I can think of.

Not covid but I already had it and was lucky to have very mild symptoms. I think I had the actual Flu (Yes it still exisits) I had body aches a mild temp and a throbbing headache.
