Several months ago had the timing chain skip a few teeth so decided it was time for a rebuild. Had a 308 block ready for rebuild so heres a few photos for you. Car is 52 Wasp brougham
Removing the old lump
cleaning up ports a bit hydraulic lifters being installed as headers are going to be fitted
Big holes
Massive heavy crank getting a wash
Crank installed
Deburring caps. They were amazingly rough lots of sharp edges etc had to do same to block and inside oil pump
This is before clean up
Installing lifters
Hopefully non leaking rear main
New pistons going in
Double row timing chain no more jumping teeth
Back together
Almost ready to go in
Just waiting on headers being powder coated and oil lines being made up.
Will post more pics soon

Stevepet, Please note the closeness of the fuel line to the exhaust header. Shape around or insulate to avoid vapor lock.
