Still haven't pick up the parts pickup. Maybe this week since this weather is starting to come around. In the mean time I tore the block down and found out it is a brazil block, possibly my problem. I have a couple of questions. My head has an international stamp but the block is Brazilian. Is this common, or would a Brazilian cast block have a Brazilian cast head? Also wondering a couple of rod bearings and the front cam bearing were starting to show some bronze. Is this typical or was it starting to wear badly? Just asking out of curiosity, first time I have taken one apart.
