[T3] Ok, its apart!

[Keith Park]

Or build it on the case I have, that has about 250K on it now without ever
being case-savered!  Yea, I have quickly retreated back into the T3 world
when this has gone bad in the past havent I?  well this time I cant just
stick the old motor back in and there is alot RIGHT with the 2056 this time,
I have a feeling the pistons are OK, they are not scuffed up hardly at all
and Im thinking of re-using them with new rings and have them fitted to 
OEM cylinders bored to 96, so I get the quality jugs and KB pistons in
proper pairs.

as for the cam end play that is the likely culprit, Ill know more when I
split the case but im worried about HOW do you tighten end play if its too
loose upon fresh install?  I found Ray Greenwood's writeup on double thrust
shells, I dont THINK I have them in there, but I should... either way, I
really just stuck things together and with the last build and last cam it
was .007 out of the box, still too loose.

Id also like less slop in the cam/crank gears, but since I can only get a 0
gear...  that issue seems to be totally overlooked on the forums, how loose
is too loose and what can you do about it?

 I don't know Keith, it seems like you wanted to find something wrong, so
you 
could justify tearing it apart. I guess you never heard of the reports of
the t-4 
engine being nick named a tractor motor. ;-)
 If I didn't know better, it sounds like what you really want to do is build
a nice 
stock based t-3 motor based on an all aluminum case, and get another 250K 
miles out of it.

Well the 2056 is apart and my worst fears are realized, What I was afraid Id
see.

NOTHING WRONG!

cam and lifters look fine, lifter bores look fine, nobody ever figured out
why the lifters werent rotating with the last build but not a problem here,

Cylinders have maybe a LITTLE scuffing,nothing serious, barely feel it with
your fingernail, little or no scuffing on the piston skirts,
