The shoddy repairs from the previous owner, leaves a lot to be desired.

I will probably check both, and yes, with such gross negligence or just being completely beyond their knowledge, much is left to be desired.

Heads and block are nice and flat. Unfortunately, since rod bearings 1 and 2 spun, it seems to have given the crank nose a bit of wobble. Shop said about .004". I will get another crank and rods, plenty of reman'd and good used ones on ebay. Everything else is cleaning up nicely. I have opened every oil gallery including the oil pump, sump screen, cam screens and restrictors in the heads for cleaning and flushing. I will also disassemble and clean the cam phasers. Looks like not much debris made it past the oil filter. I cleaned up the cam journals with 1200 grit emery cloth. Should I go finer to really polish them back up? They're quite smooth now, just not polished like the lobes.
My wife gave me the caution tape. I warn everyone now.
