The story is, I bought this 1966 Chrysler 300 on the cheap. I got it started and the engine required throttle to idle and had a god aweful scretch that tempod with the motor turning. Checked pulleys, belts, and fan to eliminate those. Decided to pull the motor, noticed when I took the intake off that the lifters were not centered on the cam journals. There is a 1/4" of play back and fourth on the cam. This is the first point of concern. Second is that the piston in the four hole has some slack in it, when turning the crank. Anyone had similar problems how extensive did your machine work get? Hoping for just .030 over and calling it a day. Is there any preventative work i need done?
