Started tearing into my basket case (litterally) 22RE. I have a shop that is going to check the block for me once I have it torn down. The head is supposedly an LC engineering unit- Any way to tell if it is? Same for Camshaft? Where to look for #s?
The head was still in plastic from the machine shop where it had been checked to be good (previous owner)
I tried turning the camshaft, and found that it rotated freely, except that it seemed to grab at the same point every rotation (WHY?) I pulled the cam journals, and it still seems to grab with them removed. I did find some wear on the journals built into the head- how much is normal?
I guess I'm going to take the head to the machine shop as well, but I'm having trouble sleeping as I can't get this out of my mind.
Any input appreciated.
John
