Re: Wampus Cat

December 2017
The engine that I found to rebuild is a 250 cu in from about '78 (according to the casting numbers and stamping). It had been previously bored .040" over and the bores measured within tolerance after honing.
Had the cylinder head rebuilt with hardened exhaust seats, machined for valve seals and install valve seals, surface head .012”.
Installed new rings, bearings, gaskets, new cam (stock, the old one had flattened cams), lifters, oil pump.
Installed new harmonic balancer.
Installed new water pump.
Big thanks to my brother for assembly assistance while visiting for the holidays!
