The pistons are dished. I took the front cover off and oil pump appears to be real new (numbers M295-U.S.A.) and almost all of the bolts were somewhat looser than they should have been. I think maybe someone replaced the pump and just didn't know what they were doing. 317 heads. Piston jugs had a bit of water in some and some rust. I am thinking of pulling the pistons and trying a Harbor Freight hone I have. At the very least I can drop a cam and my AFR's on the LQ9 and now I can close it up with all the covers from this one. I was kind of hoping the oil pump was holding the crank from turning but the cam and pump were moving fine. I can't seem to get the cam out past the first three lobes. Also there were several different bolts on the front cover so someone was in there for sure.
