[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 1473824, member: 16119"] So it looks like I'm going out of town on Tuesday .... Thought I'd make an attempt to get these cases shipped to '9er tomorrow. Success! Granted, one of the cams is still in it. If I don't get this stuff out the door I'll lose another couple of weeks getting them shipped. I'll have time tomorrow to get them cleaned-up and packed, but I'm not going to get the puller I need in time (to get the cam ex. side cam gear pulled). I've dreading the sludge trap thing... freaking horror stories about those things. So after I checked out the journals (caliper says they are the same dia 41mm) and big ends (they look great, lots of clean oil sitting in there too), I decided to see about the dreaded trap cap. Some heat, a big old screw driver and the biggest cresent wrench I have.... I won't lie, that sucked. Took about 30 minutes, it didn't loosen up until the last couple of threads. I did enjoy memories of arm pump though, so it wasn't all bad. Oddly enough, very little junk in it... you can see all the way to the end of the tube. If I've got time tomorrow I'm going to take the crank and the cylinders down to Big D, maybe they'll be done with it by the time I get back (honing and checking the crack). Busy guys down there. Finally. [ATTACH=full]20850[/ATTACH] Sludge trap was actually pretty clean. Either someone was recently in there or it's seen a lot of oil changes. [ATTACH=full]20848[/ATTACH] Journals look good, still going to have them mic'd to be sure. [ATTACH=full]20849[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
