Its no big deal to take a crate motor apart and just check things out. The engine isnt devalued in any way. As a matter of fact, I think the value would be enhanced if I was interested in this crate motor if I knew it was already done. Also, fresh cam lube could be applied to lessen the chance of a lobe being wiped out. The motor has been sitting for a long time. What ever was on the cam isnt fresh anymore and may have hardened a bit.....Bill S</div></div> <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: olredalert</div><div class="ubbcode-body">----Trust what David says.
