Default Re: Engine removal '38 deluxe

Got on it this afternoon, started disconnecting things and getting ready to lift er out. I've got to wait til Tuesday to get a hoist so the plan was to just prep for that. Ended up having too much fun, so the exhaust manifolds came off, starter, then the heads.

Ended up discovering why my compression was low in #2 cylinder. But also found quite the detail in #3 cylinder wall. Any ideas as to what would have caused that??

From what I can tell its all stock and original aside from a valve job in its past. No liners but a minor valve relief job. Not sure if that may be factory, it looks pretty consistent/machined and think I read somewhere, something about some canadian blocks being factory relieved. Can't remember for certain. Thinking I will discover the bearings are the cause of the metal shavings in the bottom end. Will see once I get it out.











Any ideas what would or could have caused this in #3 Cylinder?
