EISH!!! 
The PO must have revved the hell out of the poor thing.
Good luck with the project; looks like a really fun toy.

Re: My 72 baja project
One thing I noted was that #3 main bearing dowel pin location is not in the right place, did you bolt it up like that?
Dude, next time go a little less on the case sealant. Am I seeing things are is that block broken at the top? Will only be hanging on 3 points?

Yea thanks for telling me ..but im not putting it in the car cause of the lack of experience i have with these so i contacted someone on the forum to help me with a new motor or help me rebuild this one..
the pics i took was at a mechanic but after a while i noticed he didnt really know what he was doing so i took the motor back home !
