Just for grins, I'd want to take a peek at the top of the piston, but I'd be satisfied with looking with a bore scope and not going through the work of pulling intake and head. There are many, hand held/w their own screen, for under $100. Also, there are many scopes that work from and app through a smart phone, using the phone's screen. I've seen these for under $20 and the one I have works just fine.

The one I got was garbage. Broke after two uses. Couldn't see anything on the low-res screen anyway.

Which one do you have? I've been looking at these but wasn't sure how well they work. |

I have one of "those" phone app scopes and it works fine, Camera FI as I remember the name. Here's a picture of my buddy's 68 Dodge Charger's camshaft where the fuel pump shaft rides. All pictures were taken through the fuel pump shaft hole.

I don't know why we are wasting time with borescopes, camera apps etc.
Get the valve train working, and it will run fine.
I've had this too many times, and it is NOT like a broken valve spring.

Yep, just bolt the new stuff on, make sure nothing's hitting anything, fire it up, and if it sounds like something else is broken, then deal with it at that time. I bet it runs just fine.  |
