Very fine debris from the bushing got through the filter and when I was cleaning up parts for re-assembly, there was very fine debris in main bearings and Jeff would not let it go back together with just a Scotch-Brite tune-up and wanted it back like new as Joe paid for. I agree with Jeff. When I took it apart, it was all oily and the debris was not evident. Also looked like the distributor jacking the timing up may have been causing some detonation as some of the top rings showed signs of the Moly coating starting to flake off. Just buying top rings from Total Seal was more money than just buying a whole set, so we bought a whole set.

Other than that, engine is just fine.
