What do you want to Know?
The main bearings, and big end (conrod) bearings are 010 thou. under size, and the bores are 030 thou oversze at the last rebuild. the mains and big ends can go further to 060 under size, and the bores can go to 080 over size(maybe morewith pistons from the states. You will have to measure it all up once it is pulled down to see how much wear there is. Best senario is new bearings, and rings, along with all the other stuff that needs doing.

Lynn cheers thats all i wanted to know, as long as she can be rebored, i was going to free her up she is stuck with standing, check the bores and if all is well try a bench start and see what the oil preasure is like, if all is ok i will not strip it down. the double edged sword with this is i need to be sure i wont cause any permenant damage to it.....can only make that assessment when its infront of me though

If its stuck.
If you can, tip the motor over so you have one bank of cylinders pointing up. Pour some diesel into each pot, and set it on fire.
Let it burn. The heat will expand the componentry, and hopefully free things up. It will take a while. Do the same to the other bank, and then try barring (turning) it over. This is for when the rings/pistons are stuck. If you have stuck valves, I would deal with them first. If you think the piston pins are stuck, roll the motor over with oil in the sump to saturate them.
