does wd40 harm metallic surfaces? i always thought it kinda ate away at metal surfaces. definitely know that it ruins seals and such... but thats it.

oh yeah, while you have the head off, just get the 1.9 metal head gasket. and yea they come in different thicknesses

OK, Here's the damage...

Rust on the crank, intermediate shaft (felt that turning the oil pump), and in the first cylinder. All the bearings look OK.

While I am bummed, I'm also pretty relieved and glad I finally pulled it all apart.

Seems like maybe I should pull the crank and rehone #1, but I'm leaning towards touch up the inside of #1 from beneath as I've done above, clean off some of the surface rust, rinse into a pan with some solvent (not wd40 this time, maybe kerosene?), and put it back together and run it.

I wasn't brave enough to go for the 1.9 gasket. When I end up pulling this one off (fingers crossed for a while) I'll add the extra coolant ports to the head, and have it resurfaced at a good shop, and try the 1.9 then... with the Giles pump and advanced cam of course :wink:

I'll see if I can figure out how to post pics on a following post...

Always open to opinions and helpful advice, thanks again!

You have to right click the photo's on the imagestation site, and click Copy Shortcut. then you have to take the url from the shortcut and cut that and paste it in here for each picture. Very nice rebuild

Good thing you did take it apart.

What it looks like you did with your linking is you linked to the entire page, not the specific picture.

Here is the URL you used
[im*g]http://www.imagestation.com/8446261/3953706268[/im*g]
and here is what I used

Of course there are no *'s when you are actually posting pictures
