Things have moved on. I’m about to remove camshaft. I’m taking all the valves out to make the job easier.
Quick query is it possible or even necessary to have the head cleaned? I’m thinking of the water chambers mainly. Combustion side is fairly clean.
Also is it the done thing to paint exhausts manifold with heat resistant black to hide the rust?
Will report back shortly on the camshaft 1/8” end float issue. Retaining pin wasn’t worn so I’m hoping the bush is worn. Would be nice to find the reason for the knocking.
I’m still convinced the crankshaft, pistons and head are in good condition. Although I don’t have the kit to measure the bores there is no visible sign of wear.
