sounds good, the Island is always nice that time of year, need a reason to cross the salish sea once in a while. name a place/time, Thanks dave.

ah the keepers, thanks, that was pestering. will remove and store as per instructed, next move collect parts and a bit of loot, then we'll put er back together. cheers,dave.

just cam and valves left in block, have valve spring compressor, what's the manouver to remove valves? undoing the 3/8" nut all the way snugs it up to the spring assembly-frustrating...thx,Dave.

wow, maybe ill take the camera with us next time we go up the valley, thx Dave in Squamish,B.C.

o.k. i'll get back out there, remove valves and keep in same order for re-install, thx,Dave.

wow, thanks-what a beauty in her day eh! the tag has model/body no., then paint code:6 I O, and trim code: A O H. cheers, Dave.

finally got crankshaft out this p.m., tried working camshaft out by prying with large flathead etc. got a little movement in right direction, do i use a puller now or will it ease out with more force? buddy mentioned its easy to damage lobes... valves still in, take out first? thanks, Dave.

could use the radio, might have the wiper mount, will check in a.m., Dave.

engine is 251, looked at powerwagon.com, probalbly easiest way to go, thanks Dave.

pulling what parts we can from four bushed out cars up the valley, this one's tag says the above model and body numbers, tried to find in the archives, just wondering what year this one is. all pretty shot, just some door handles,fenders,etc. to hang on shop walls, any help appreciated. thx, Dave.

upon disassembly found P#4 cracked in the skirt. planning on putting it all back together with new bearings, etc. anyone have a set around or just source new? thax,Dave.

thanks for photo's, i rerouted twice- once from firewall oil/temp bracket, then up steering column, both wrong, now i can go do it right...Dave

o.k., everything bagged and tagged, took a few photos, marked main caps, need large socket for crank bolt at pulley, thats the only hold up, then out with crank and cam and see where were at. thx. Dave

o.k., was worried about timing etc. just started to get bogged down, pistons stuck and the conecting rod bolts are resting on crankshaft jounals, then oil pump half out and a main bearing off, getting scattered, not what i had planned. thx, Dave.
