Thanks for the input. You are thinking the same way as I am. Let's drop pan and look at bearings. Top end appears good and has new Jim Bound cam, lifters and push rods and if the compression Is ok now maybe I can just do bearings from bottom without removing engine. I will confirm with Ken and take his advice. Glad to hear that others have had good experience with Ken's engines. Everything he has done for me so far has been fair and first class. I had visions of doing this job on my schedule maybe putting aluminum heads, fuel injection, increased compression etc but the coach has it's own schedule which seems to be to be parked in a repair shop. Five months at Coop and now six months at Kens shop. It did spend 5days coming up from Florida where it went through three HEI modules and two coils, blew exhaust off and brakes failed. Then it spent two months in my driveway up on blocks where I replaced the brakes twice and went through four gallons of fluid trying to bleed it with
pressure vacuum and foot pumping after which it went by flatbed to Ken's. Someday I actually may take it camping if I can afford the gas after I finally get it running. But first I have to replace the Roof AC and the house heat and fix the leaky sewer line and install an awning. For a few bucks more I can buy a big diesel pickup and tow the GMC to the campground.
