Engine temporarily reassembled to check compression again and to see what oil circulation is like with oil pump.
This engine appears to be a genuine Ford rebuild. Bores have been sleeved and a rough check shows the bores are back to standard (3 & 3/16").

Chucked some fresh oil in and hooked her up to a battery. Oil pressure is very good. Cleaned up nicely but it is astonishing how much crap stays in amoungst colletts, springs, guides, etc.

Unfortunately compression, was not good. Some had zero so I'm wondering what the truck was running like before the cocky put her away. Clearances were zero on some as well.

So we decided to start pulling the valves out for a reface and will probably go with adjustable lifters.
